Can Someone explain warranty options

I'm not sure if this is specific to the Canadian site or not, but the Thinkpad waranty options are very confusing.  For instance:
ThinkPlus 2 Year EasyServ Total for 1 Year EasyServ ThinkPad
ThinkPlus 3 Year EasyServ Total for 1 Year EasyServ ThinkPad
What on earth does that mean.  What's EasyServ Total and what's EasyServ ThinkPad?  What's 2 or 3 years and what's 1 year?
Or:
ThinkPlus 2 Year Onsite 9x5 Next Business Day Warranty and Maintenance Option
What's the Maintenance Option?
There is nothing that explains what any of this means.  There's a little "Help me Decide" popup, but it doesn't use any of these terms.  For instance, what option do I need to select to get the Accidental Damage Protection (ADP)?  It's not explicitely listed as an option anywhere I could see?
Any help would be much appreciated.

so far I'm enjoying my 400S - but my warranty situation has been a nightmare - I totally can relate to your frustration - back in October I purchased the machine and additionally purchased  " 1 year on site & 1 year Thinkpad protection" - around the end of last year Thinkpad protection was renamed ADP (i.e. accidental damage protection) and now there' s something called EZserv.
my issue was that the internal Lenovo/IBM bureaucracy didn't acknowledge the above warranty - only depot.
I called for weeks to get this rectified - even scanned and emailed an itemized listing that I saved when I completed the online purchase - was assured a month ago that the warranty/entitlement folks were aware of my warranty and I would in fact be getting a refund since that warranty now sells for $79 instead of the $119 that I paid.
to date I haven't seen the refund and a few minutes ago the online warranty look-up shows EZserv/depot - what is EZserv ? is it 1 year onsite ? something else ?
personally I think there remains an IBM vs Lenovo internal battle and customers are getting the short end.

  • Can someone explain me this?

    Can someone explain me why LabVIEW embeds the graphic in sheet 1 if i specify location as "prueba"? The vi is for LV 5.0.1f1 and Excel 2000, it just creates a workbook, adds some data and creates a chart. I've tried to ask a NI engineer but i receive no answer.

  • Can someone explain the code for having the Accordion panels closed?

    I located the answer to my own question (how to get all the accordion panels to remain closed when the browser opens) but I still don't understand the answer. Can someone explain this?
    This feature is only supported when using variable height panels, so you must pass a false into the Accordion's constructor for the "useFixedPanelHeights" constructor options, and a -1 for the "defaultPanel" option:
    <script type="test/javascript">
    var acc1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion ("Acc1", { useFixPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1});
    </script>

    Hi Angela,
    You are right, the only way it will work is by setting the fixed height to false. As for the for the default panel option, -1 is not a panel and if you had 3 panels we could have used the number 3 (panel1 = 0) or 99 or whatever as long as there is no panel with that number. If we had used the number 1 for instance, then the 2nd panel would be opened by default.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can someone explain the tables tab under function parameter declaration ?

    Hello,
    when declaring a function, part of its parameter interface is the tables tab. So if in FUNCTION1 i  declare a table: tdraw like draw  (optional)
    what does that mean ? does this mean that tdraw will be a table of type draw and at the same time it will be filled up with the same contents as draw has ?
    then how can other function (func2) use FUNCTION1 and its table ?
    so if inside func2  i also have an internal table AA like draw :
    so inside func2 i say:
    call function1
    tables:tdraw = AA
    does this mean that it will assign the result tdraw table of function1 to AA ?
    can someone explain details of internal tables and passing them as parameters ?
    and which table is assigned to which ?
    thank you

    Hi hassan,
    If you are talking about the tables parameter in SE37, when you declare a table tdraw like draw it only means you are declaring an internal table of type draw but the contents are not filled into it.
    In the source code of the program you have to write the code to fetch the data to tdraw and do the manipulations accordingly.
    Also, the tables you are declaring can be like the input table or can be used for output table.
    suppose u have 2 tables tab1 and tab2, tab1 you are going to input the values to it and the calculated values have to be in another table, you can use tab2 as the result table.
    hope it helps.
    award points if it helps.

    Apparently this UDF takes two optional parameters so that one
    can define
    (A) a text "qualifier" to use in the CSV file, this is
    usually the
    single quote|tick ['] mark - but sometimes one wants this to
    be a
    different character and (B) what columns to use in the
    output in case
    one does not want to use all the columns in the record set
    in the
    outputted CSV file.
    The if statements are checking for these optional parameters
    and if
    found setting the values in them to internal variables.
    These
    variables are then used in the rest of the logic to create
    the CSV output.

  • Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    Can someone explain the icloud to me please? Where are all my old pictures and how can I see them? Photostream only holds 1000 and when I sync my icloud to my mac it only imports what is on my photo stream.

    When you enable photo stream on your Mac, in imports photos currently in your photo stream.  However, photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your device until you delete them.  When you enable photo stream on your Mac, you will only receive photos added in the last 30 days, as the others are no longer in your photo stream.
    If you want to get all your old photos on your Mac, save them to your camera roll (if they aren't already there) by opening your photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once they are in your camera roll, import them to your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Another option would be to create a shared photo stream containing the older photos and invite yourself (as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).  Then check Shared Photo Streams in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream and you will see this shared photo stream on your Mac.

  • Can someone explain me well when the infopackage use batch or dialog?

    Hi Gurus,
    can someone explain me well when the infopackage use batch or dialog?

    Hi ,
    first of of in Bi_btch job nothin comes in the log .. but if you use PSa and then into data target then it willl definatly create background jobs .. but i feel it doesnt relate to the concept you are taking about ..
    if you us e a sepeate update from PSA step the it will create backgroung jobs ..of  king bi_btch and if you push the packets maually then it will create jobs like bi_book .. thats the diff ..
    The initialization and execution of an InfoPackage is implemented as a process type in the process chain maintenance. The Start Later in Batch setting is hidden if the InfoPackage is used in a process chain. This is because the start of the request is determined by the process chain itself.
    If you do not use the InfoPackage in the process chain maintenance and you want to process the data request in the background, select the radio button Start Later in Batch and define the required start time. If start times already exist for this data request, this is indicated with a  next to the Scheduling Options pushbutton. You can change the start time using Settings Options. You can also enter an end date for the data request with a background job.
    If you schedule an InfoPackage in the batch later, the background request job runs until all data is updated in BW. This is displayed with a corresponding indicator in the Schedule tab page.  The load process remains active until the data is updated.
    For example, this gives external scheduling tools the option of monitoring the request job. The job then also runs with a request from an SAP source system as long as the source system has sent the data to the BW system and posted it or until the monitor sets the request to red. In the job log, a success or error message is displayed according to whether the request was posted successfully or not.
    regards,

  • Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a...

    Can someone explain why the Secure Easy Setup light on a WRT54G would change from a steady green to steady orange after firmware upgrade?  Everything is connecting properly, and I see no change in performance of network other than light change described.   Thanks. 

    The way I understand the Secure Easy Setup button is this.
    It will be orange when the router is in normal operation mode. The light turns green when you press the Cisco Systems button (that is orange normally) so that the router will search for the web device you are trying to connect to the router. If you want to disable this feature all together go into your router settings page at 192.168.1.1
    Go to the Wireless tab, and then the Advanced Wireless Settings sub-heading, once in there look for the option SecureEasysetup and simply set it to disable (enabled is default) then click the save now and apply the settings. The light should be out now meaning you don't have the Secure Setup feature enabled.
    It is just a personal choice to have it on or off, it should not affect router or internet performance unless you hit the button trying to connect a device to the network.

  • Can someone explain this difference in Mac vs Win policy ?

    I can download a MathScript module for evaluation with the Windows evaluation version, but for the Mac, I have to first buy LabVIEW (the module is free, just can't be evaluated). Can someone explain the logic behind this nonsense ?

    NI's activation platform doesn't work on the Mac or Linux operating systems. We created a "special" evaluation version of LabVIEW for the Mac, but after the 30 days, it requires you to uninstall it and install the regular version of LabVIEW, which doesn't have activation.
    VISA is offered as a free download because it a device driver, and by practice, all of NI's device drivers are free. However, the MathScript RT Module is an add-on for LabVIEW. The reason that the Mac and Linux versions are free is because we don't have LabVIEW Real-Time for Mac or Linux, and the real-time capabilities for the LabVIEW MathScript RT Module are the primary reason for the cost of the Module in the first place. This ability to deploy custom .m files to embedded hardware, and run them deterministically, as well as the plug-in tools to do profiling and testing, is a huge differentiator for MathScript on the Windows platform. However, that functionality doesn't exist on the Mac or Linux platform.
    The reason you can't download the Module is because we need to be able to track who the users are. Each new release of LabVIEW brings a new version of the MathScript RT Module, and we physically mail the new media to all of the users who have "purchased" the free Module, just like with any purchased Module. If we simply said go download it, then each person would have to go re-download it with each release.
    "Go stuff yourself" is certainly not the intention. You will be able to use the Mac version of MathScript (free) on the evaluation version of LabVIEW for Mac. To find this version, navigate to http://www.ni.com/trylabview/ and choose to "See Download Options". The mac version is linked within this page.
    I hope you find this information both helpful and satisfactory.

  • Can someone explain how to set up an administrator account so that I can have my phone and my daughters have separate apple ids?

    I mistakenly updated to the latest version of iOS and ever since then I can send messages to my daughter and I receive them but she does not.  She has an iphone also and her phone is under my apple id also.  Someone told me that I could set up an Administrator Account so that she can still be under my account but she has her own ID and that will fix the problem with text/imessages.  I can't find anything on the website that explains how to do that.  Can someone explain that to me?
    Thanks!

    I'm still not clear on what you are trying to accomplish. If you have an iPhone and she does as well you should have your own Apple IDs.
    If you want to pay for any purchases she makes with her phone as far as apps/music goes than that is what Family sharing is for.
    In my case my Wife and I are setup for family sharing. When she purchases music/apps it charges my credit card. This setup also allows me to share my past music/app purchases with her and vice versa.

  • Please can someone explain how to delete email addresses?  I have people who when I type in their name it comes up with the correct email address but then when you hit return to confirm it promptly changes the name to someone else (always the same someone

    Please can someone explain how to delete and email address that when typed in brings up one name but when you hit return to confirm it jumps to another name.  I can't find them in my contacts list but they do come up when you type the first few letters of a name.
    EG If I type xyz and the name of the person comes up, when I press return to confirm that's the one I want then it jumps to [email protected],  always the same def address.
    I can't fathom it out.
    Thanks
    Terri

    Try this:
    Start a new email.  In the To address bar, type in xyz like you normally do, press return to confim, and when the address you want to remove shows up in the address bar, move your cursor over the address you want to delete.
    A small triangle next to the name will show up.  click on it, a drop down menu will open, click Remove from Previous Recipients List.  Then do the drop down menu again and Remove Address.
    Good luck.

  • Trying to understand RSTP - Please can someone explain this?

    Hi Group
    I am still confused about how RSTP is implemented. From what i understand the major difference is that STP
    used Timers for Loop prevention whereas RSTP coordinates between neighbors via messages (proposal/aggreement) to turn on links
    more quickly after topology changes and is "timer free".
    However, I have not noticed any difference in the configuration from the legacy STP
    configurations and the RSTP configuration on cisco devices. Or are there any differences??
    I have read in documentation that RSTP natively includes features like UplinkFast, BackboneFast and PortFast. So are these features now obsolete
    and not needed to be configured if you are running RSTP. (Although i have seen Portfast still configured along with RSTP on many switches)
    Also can someone explain the below Points from Cisco Documentation
    1) should STP be disabled on edge ports all together as suggested below?
    "STP edge ports are bridge ports that do not need STP enabled, where loop protection is not needed out
    of that port or an STP neighbor does not exist out of that port. For RSTP, it is important to disable STP
    on edge ports, which are typically front-side Ethernet ports, using the command bridge
    bridge-group-number spanning-disabled on the appropriate interface. If RSTP is not disabled on edge
    ports, convergence times will be excessive for packets traversing those ports."
    2) It seems RSTP relies on duplex setting to determine inter-switch links. What is the configuration to explicitly
    configure RSTP link types? (I couldnt find this in the documentation)
    "RSTP can only achieve rapid transition to the forwarding state on edge ports and on point-to-point links.
    The link type is automatically derived from the duplex mode of a port. A port that operates in fullduplex
    is assumed to be point-to-point, while a half-duplex port is considered as a shared port by
    default. This automatic link type setting can be overridden by explicit configuration. In switched
    networks today, most links operate in full-duplex mode and are treated as point-to-point links by RSTP.
    This makes them candidates for rapid transition to the forwarding state."
    Also i am a bit rough on my RSTP knowledge even after skimming a few Cisco documents. Can someone please explain this in simple way.
    Thanks in advance

    to configure it on a device:-
    spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst
    PortFast/UplinkFast & BackboneFast were cisco "Enhancements" to 802.1d STP. RSTP just incorperates them. If you want to configure portfast, the command is still "spanning-tree portfast"
    OK
    1) That is your choice - I have bitter experiance of users/IT admins just plugging hubs/switches in when ever they can. Also cabling the switch back to itself creating a cabled loop. So my advice to you is to leave STP enabled on all switch ports, BUT enable BPDUGuard - this is a life saver, if you have configured portfast.
    2) duplex auto! or duplex full (overiding)
    I really suggest that you read the 802.1d standard, once you understand normal spanning-tree - RSTP will come to you.

  • CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN ME THE DISPLAY QUALITY

    I have just purchased a new macbook pro 15" 2.4ghz. Im a designer, i havent even created my appleid, im on my sisters... i made a sacrifice to buy this $2700 laptop.
    and Im so dissapointed...
    I CANT SEE SMOOTH GRADIENTS.. all i see are ugly lines... i dont get it, for such a high class LAPTOP.
    Apple support please help me solve this. ive been reading forums about 6bit screens for this laptop.. i dont want to believe that. can someone explain? im returning this...

    I can verify that all of Apple's laptops use 18 bit (6 bits per Red, Green Blue) color, which is about 260,000 colors. The OS then using dithering to fake the missing colors. Despite what you have read, they are incapable of 24 bit 'millions of colors'.
    The problem with this argument is that, when it comes down to it, the color displays are made up of dithered red, green, and blue elements anyway. We accept that this form of display gives us "full color", so it's difficult to argue that millions of colors can't be represented using the same mechanism. It's not quite 16.7 million (more like 16.3 or something) but Apple's text has always taken care to read "millions of colors" rather than 16.7 million (which you'll still see on the specifications for the Cinema displays).
    Just for informational sakes though, these kinds of 6-bit displays don't rely on OS spatial dithering; they actually make use of their very fast switching to perform temporal dithering, switching a pixel between two shades very quickly to generate an in-between shade. That's why for most people the result is usually visually indistinguishable from true 8-bit color, and doesn't look like what you'd see with traditional dithering.
    If the OP is noticing severe banding on gradients, it's more likely to be an issue with color profiles than with the display being 6-bit.

Maybe you are looking for
