T400s vertical line down the screen - outside of warranty

Hi
I've had a T400s for just a 2 bit over 2 years now and was always happy with it. I used it mostly with my docking station and have never travelled with it. Now out of the blue one day half the screen was black with a few pixel problems right in the middle with a clear vertical line down the screen. I was perplexed because I was sure no damage whatsoever happened to the notebook.
I googled and it seems to be a common problem:
A link among others:
"We have about 1200 T400s systems deployed and there has been a higher than normal failure rate with them compared to X301 and T61 systems. Our issues are LCD failure with a vertical line down the screen (very common), Speaker/Audio issues, and DoA systems."

The problem seems to be known:

But since the notebook is outside of warranty but it's obviously a manufacturing problem on a (very) expensive notebook, how could I approach Lenovo service center to repair it for me? I have shelled out well over 2'500 Euro for the latest model back then and am a bit disappointed to be honest..
Thanks for any advice on how to approach this!

@tripplec, i don't understand how a Chinese company affects the outcome of the OP's problem? Would IBM do it differently?
Yes, I spent 3 years at a Toronto Bank who bought say 500 systems or so plus notebooks. ThinkPad's and Think Center product. I supported did the warranty work while there. When the warranty was up it was up!! Even if a lowly optical mouse fail and a number of them did. Too bad nor replacement.
I've delt with IBM, Compaq and HP. There customer relations is entirely at at different level and would and did on may occasions provide one time post warranty repair even for catestophic issues well after warranty was over. This is a case by case basis. You could reach them and talk to them (locally) and not haveway around the world having no sense of what significance your case it.
There is a difference as was the turn around time 48hrs max and not weeks.

My iphone has blue lines down the screen

My iPhone 4 has blue lines down the screen which occasionally change colour. I've tried resetting it and restoring the settings but it is continuing to do this. please help....

To rule out a software issue, set it back to factory settings without using the latest backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
If still lines on the screen, this is hardware related and the phone needs to be serviced:

Are there any differences to an iPod touch bought in the USA that in the UK, Are there any differences to an iPod touch bought in the USA that in the UK

If i was to buy an iPod touch in the USA are there any differences to one bought in the UK?

I'm not sure that's correct Illaass.
Unless the volume restriction (on EU iPods) has recently also been introduced worldwide, then an iPod bought anywhere inside the EU (European Union) - which includes the UK, has the maximum volume limited, compared to an iPod bought outside the EU, such as the USA.
Note that I'm not referring to the Volume Limit feature in the Settings/Music menu (which both a USA and UK iPod Touch have), but the absolute maximum possible output of the iPod.
Our glorious leaders at "EU headquarters" decided some years ago to protect our delicate little ears from harm by capping the output of EU sold iPods and since then - well, you can guess the rest, it's boring.
To some people, this difference is very important, so drhill may want to take this into consideration. The "limit" of an EU model cannot be over-ridden, although if buying one in the USA (as drhill indicates he/she may do), you can of course limit the volume to the lower EU level using the Settings/Music>Volume Limit feature.

I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me when I use the speaker function on my iPhone4. Are there any fixes?

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.

Are there any fixes for iPad 2 with OS 8.1.1.

Are there any fixes for the iPad 2 IOS 8.1.1? I've had problems with Safari and other Apps crashing or locking up, and with extremely slow touch response. These problems have been occurring since the last update. At times the iPad becomes unusable. I have been keeping all programs closed and history and web site data cleared. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi, dannilee,
I have exactly the same problem. The device was my favorite computer until 8.1.1. Now it runs s-l-o-w-l-y, requires endless reboots.
To improve the performamce, I have tried these:
1.Go to Setting->General->Accessibility->Reduce Motion. Turn on.
2.Reset iPad device settings using Setting->General->Reset->Reset All Settings. Its increase iPad performance little better.
3.Hold the sleep/wake button and home button upto 8 seconds. This will turn off your iPad. Then turn on iPad. Wait few moments. Do the same thing twice to solve this issue.
Solution 3 worked for me. And, I always recommend you to backup your iPad first before any action to avoid any data loss.
Hope it is useful for you.

Plugin-container.exe is causing problems, are there any fixes?

Firefox frequently stops or runs very slowly and it appears to be related to "plugin-container.exe". This was not happening with earlier versions of Firefox and it is really causing frustration with this version.
If I stop "plugin-container.exe" normal service appears to be resumed, but the program soon starts up again.
Are there any fixes for this problem or will I have to revert to Internet Explorer?

That's supposed to indicate it's your plug-ins like Flash that is the problem.
You might try changing hardware acceleration, a setting within Flash either turn if off or on.

HT201401 iphone 5 has a fine line down the screen

my 2 month old iphone 5 has a very fine black line running down the screen ?

I am afraid that this seems like a hardware fault but there are a few things to try.
First of all, if you have a case or any enclosure of any type on your iPhone, I would suggest removing to confirm that this problem is being caused by anything else (which is unlikely but is typical of what someone in an Apple Store will do first).
If the problem is still there, then reset the software on the phone - Do this by pressing the Sleep and Home button for a while until the screen goes dark and that Apple logo comes up (typically around 10 - 20 seconds). Once this happens, release the buttons and let the iPhone completes its reboot process (typically around 1 minute. I hope that this sorts out your problem.
If neither of these solves the problem, then I afraid it does rather look like your iPhone does have a faulty screen - take it back to Apple.

Lines down the screen

My I phone 5s has lines going down the screen and I can't put in my password. How do I fix this problem?

The iPhone warranty is not, and has never been, international. The phone will have to be physically brought back to the country where it was originally sold new for warranty service.

If a reset or restore of the device does not resolve the issue, your iPod likely needs servicing as the LCD screen may be damaged.
