Does Lenovo warranty cover USB ports?

I'm about to send my T400 in for maintenance due to a messed up motherboard, but before that 2 of the 3 USB ports had not been functioning for a while.
Wanted to ask if my 3-year warranty covers the USB ports?

I think one of the USB ports is physically broken, with its insulator snapped off and one of the wires bent in.
Any chance the broken USB port is _causing_ the motherboard problem?  What are the symptoms?
There are quite a few posts here saying that bent pins in a USB connector shorted something (5V power, maybe) and prevented a motherboard from firing up.  If you straighten the bent pin does the mobo come to life?
I guess the end-game is the same either way.

  • Does iPOD default 1 year warranty cover USB cable?

    I found out that my 5G video iPOD is not able to charge with PC due to usb cable issue (another borrowed cable works). I bought my iPOD 1 month back so it is still under warranty. Does the warranty cover the faulty USB cable?

    Yes. Apple's warranty covers everything in the box.
    Bring both the cable and the iPhone to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    Does my warranty cover torn mac book chargers? Its been torn for awhile, I only had it for less than a year.

    Here is a link to your hardware warranty:

  • Hello, my MacBook just fell on the floor and there is a massive smash on the rear aluminum part. Is it fixable? Does the warranty cover this type of damage? If not, how much would it cost me to get it fixed?

    PS: I bought it on the USA, but currently living in Brazil . I guess though there is a apple store in the shopping mall.

    Accidental damage is not covered by warranty. As to cost to fix, we can not say as we do not know what internal/external components were damaged. Take the computer to an authorized repair center for assessment and estimate to repair.

  • What does the warranty cover exactly?

    Well my itouch just randomly goes dark.... So dark I cant see it. One minute its on then bam it shuts off. Also, the headphones are not as loud. Does my warranty cover this? If so, do I have to travel to an apple retail store or can I lpmail my itouch to them? I have an ipod touch 4g 8 gb.

    You can check the warranty:
    Hardware Warranties
    Basically, it covers defects in manufacture. It does not cover accidental damage like caused by dropping it.
    You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store are send it to them, For details see:

  • Does the warranty cover cracked screens?

    Does the warranty cover cracked screens? I dropped it by accident?

    SantannaF, just what are you saying?
    - The warranty that covmes with the iPod does not cover a broken screen.
    - When this post was written, there wan an extented warranty, AppleCare that yo could purchase the increased the waranry period from one year to two years. It still did not cover accidental damage like a broken screen.
    - Now, Apple offers for a price, AppleCare+. That covers replacment for a broken screen for a fee of $29
    extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPod and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $29 service fee plus applicable tax.1

  • Does Ipad have a usb port?

    Does the Ipad2 come with a usb port or a plug in that will allow you to support usb hook up? And does garage band for ipad allow vocal recording or just instrument?

    The iPad does not have a USB port built in. There are some third-party audio devices, though, that use the Dock connector. And of course the iPad 2 has a microphone built in. If you're looking for a serious audio device, the Alesis iO Dock might be worth considering:
    http://www.alesis.com/iodock
    Lexicon's Omega is another option, one that apparently works via Apple's Camera Connector Kit:

  • HT1349 Does the warranty cover external damage?

    I've had my Iphone for less than a week and I have just dropped it and the screen has smashed.
    Does the warranty cover it?

    If you purchased AppleCare+ coverage when you purchased your iPhone, your accidental damage would be covered for the cost of the "deductable" ($49 in the US). If you did not purchase AppleCare+, then as Kappy said you will have to pay for replacement.
    Regards.

  • Does the warranty cover loss/stolen ipod touch?

    we think my son's ipod that he just got for Christmas was stolen/lost yesterday, does the warranty cover this?  Is there a way to track it or see if someone's using it?  He is devastated.

    Not covered by warranty.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing
    Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product

    If it was caused by a defect thenyes.  If caused by accidental damage like dropping then likely not. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.
    If it is only a cosment defect, the warranty does not cover it.
