Extended warranty T60p Broken for over a year, support now ignoring emails. Please help!

Hi, it has been over a year since I first contacted lenovo support about a screen issue and I still can't use the machine, support have been ignoring my emails for the past 3 weeks.
In June 2009 I upgraded the warranty of my T60p to 5 years. This time last year a problem developed with the screen where it would simply turn off every few seconds or minutes and I would have to open and close the screen several times to try and get it to turn back on, it was completely unusable.
When I called Lenovo however, they insisted that my T60p was no longer in warranty and the online warranty lookup showed the same thing. After dozens of emails, phone calls and several months later they finally accepted that it was still in warranty and agreed to repair the machine.
I sent the laptop in to be serviced and collected it a week or two later and when I tried to power it on when I got home  the situation was completely unchanged, the screen was turning off just as much if not more than before.
I immediately called/emailed Lenovo to complain and to arrange a repair and  once again sent it in.
When I collected it this time I turned it on to find that the new screen had some pretty serious water damage or something, along both sides of the display were a series of dark splotches.
Once again I contacted Lenovo to complain about the  way I had been treated and the terrible level of service I had received.
At this stage, I didn't trust that if it was sent away again I would ever receive a working laptop and since it cost  me about €50 (in postage and fuel) or so each time there was no way I was going to do that.
I'm also convinced that Lenovo have run out of new LCD panels for my model and were now using old broken ones since I had the screen replaced before any of this started and this new screen then developed the problem with turning off, so the screen had been replaced three times and all the replacements were faulty.
So in total I had already spent several hundred Euro upgrading the warranty  and then trying to get the machine repaired and had already wasted my time for over a year. I was offered an onsite repair which I still don't believe is good enough, though I did accept.
Support have now been ignoring my emails for over 3 weeks.
Either send an engineer to repair the laptop once and for all (if you are able to source an LCD panel of quality) or provide a replacement machine altogether.
Also, please extend my warranty to reflect the fact that I was refused service for over 9 months and have been left with a broken laptop for over a year.

Hi SimonHayden,
lead_org has informed Serge1410 to look into that again. Sorry for inconvenience caused.

  • My phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help!

    my phone just turned off and will not go back on. my top lock button has been broken for over a year. Help! I have tried plugging it into wall unit and computer but my home button just doesnt do anything!

    It seems that year long delay from having your lock button repaired has finally caught up to you.  Sounds like you have some damage to your phone that requires repair/replacement.  Take it to a Apple store or contact Apple Tech Support.

  • TS1424 A movie I bought (not rented) on Itunes stopped working after not watching it for over a year.  Now it just shows a black screen.

    A few years ago I bought GI Joe The Rise of Cobra on Itunes (not rented, bought).  Now, after not watching it for at least a year, when I try to play it all I get is a black screen.  How can I fix this?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT1386 I have been syncing my IPad to only one PC computer successfully for over a year.  Now when I try to sync I get the message that the ipad is synced with another computer and can be synced with only one.  How can I correct this?

    Although I have synced my ipad to only one PC computer I now get the message that it is synced to another computer and only one computer sync is permitted.  I have lots of apps on the ipad and do not want to loose everything by starting fresh with the ipad.  How can I get the ipad to again accept my computer and sync successfully?

  • I had a problem for over a year and now it's fixed. Does anyone know what caused the problem and what fixed it?

    Here's the original problem
    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/890221?esab=a&s=&r=2&as=s
    It seems to have finally been fixed in firefox 22 (or 21). I'd love to know what the original cause of the problem was and whether it was fixed by firefox or OS X

    I dont think any bugs were filed like this, likely something Apple fixed.

    I have been making in-app purchases with PayPal for over a year. Now I cannot. I changed my payment method to Credit card, but still can't. I can purchase music in itunes but no game purchases. My ID was disabled after a paypal dispute but after an entire evening on the phone with support and security, that was resolved. Any suggestions? If I have to spend more time on the phone with support, I will. But I would rather not.

  • After having my iphone 4 for over a year, the front screen cracks :(

    So after having my Iphone 4 for over a year and purchasing the apple CARE protection plan, apple is acting as if they do not care about me and my phone.  I have never traded in my phone and never had a problem with it until now.   My screen is cracked and when i tried to go to the store to get it fixed, all they tell me is sorry you have to get a new phone for $199.  My husband and iI are a huge apple fans.  We have a mac book, mac mini, ipad 1 and 2 and 2 iphone4s.   We are very loyal to Apple,  but after this experience, I don't see how i can continue to be.  I purchased the apple care plan and thought i would be able to use it since i never had a problem with my phone but they proved me wrong.  I didn't want to have to purchase a whole new phone with the iphone 5 coming out because i plan to purchase that in the first shipment.  I'm so disapointed and heart broken.  I don't know what to do. I wanna cry right now.  When it rains it pours. Just disapointed that this had to happen with APPLE!!!!  and now i'm reading some of these responces and learning that some people have gotten their phones changed for FREE?!?!?!?!?!?  What's up with that?  I feel apple should give everyone one OOPS clause.  and after that then you have to fend for yourself especially if we have to pay for a protection plan that we will not use or will not transfer to another phone.
    So disapointed

    Apple Care is an extended warranty, NOT an insurance plan.  Ford isn't going to fix your car for free when it gets wrapped around a tree.
    With the advent of the iPhone 4S and AppleCare+, the geniuses at the Apple Stores lost the freedom to replace damaged phones at their discretion.
    There is no "oops" clause in the warranty. If you've paid for Apple Care, that coverage will transfer to a replacement phone, provided you pay Apple for the out of warranty replacement.

  • TS4088 why is there a limit on 3 years? it should be all the MacBook Pro mid 2010 with symptoms, there should get their logic board changed for free, mine mac is 3 month late and i had this problem for over a year, but i first saw this article today :(

    Hey Clintonfrombirmingham
    I called Apple technical support in Denmark, but with no positive reply.
    She couldn't do anything, and said that They had sent a recall Email about the problem and with their offer to repair the Macbook Pro, but I'd never recieved an Email about the problem. She wasn't in power to make an exception. It can't be true that i paid a lot of money, for a product that can't barely stand on its own feets, Apple didn't tell me that the product I was about to buy, would restart every 5 minute. and now when  they know the problem, they wont repair it? it just don't make sense for me. If a car seller discovers that all the brakes in a car he had sold, will crash after some years he will call all the cars back to repair no mater what. i just don't understand how Apple will make good service for their custumers, by extending the warranty from 2 to 3 years, but wont take the computers there is a little bit to old, 4 months will make the difference. i can't believe it.
    What can i do now? 
    best regards Oskar

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.

  • Hierarchical Tree error - fighting for over a year

    For over a year now, our Oracle forms have presented an elusive problem with Hierarchical Trees. First some core information:
    We are running Developer 6i, patchset 8, on a Sun host and an Oracle 8i database. Our forms are deployed over the web on the
    Oracle Application Server using J-Initiator 1.1.7.27.
    Now, only on our Production platform, and only during busy times of the day, we randomly get the error "Invalid Query for Hierarchical
    Tree" when one of our tree-based forms populates the tree. This error is sometimes followed by the infamous
    FRM-92100 "connection has been terminated" error. This happens whether building the tree with a single Selec and Populate Treet,
    or via a systematic series of Add Tree Node calls.
    We have tried rebuilding the form logic to eliminate form corruption, (form corruption - happens if you open a large FMB in the
    forms developer without first being connected to the database, manifests itself as random and odd form behaviour,
    or FRM-92100 errors, Oracle product support denies it really happens), we have added debug code, we've even tried generating
    the FMX on the Production platform as part of our deployment (normally we generate FMX files on our Integration platform
    which mirrors Production).
    We are not scheduled to upgrade for Forms 9i and the 9IAS for several more months, so upgrading isn't an immediate option for us.
    Any and all ideas welcome.

    Hi Nigel,
    Two questions:
    1. When the publisher sends the access permission to the subcriber by:
    netStream.send("|RtmpSampleAccess", true, true)
    , on the subscriber side, what event or function can handle the guaranteed receipt of the access permission? Currently it is possible to draw the incoming stream video upon receiving NetStream.Play.Star and waiting for 5 seconds or so:
    public class MyWebcamSubscriber extends WebcamSubscriber {
    override protected function layoutCameraStreams():void
    // trying the event listener seems to work here.
    _streamManager.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus);
    override protected function onNetStatus(e:NetStatusEvent):void
    super.onNetStatus(e);
    case "NetStream.Play.Start":
    setTimeout(function():void {
    // draw the video from the incoming stream here.
    }, 5000);
    The questions is, which event can let the subscriber know that it has the access permission to the video stream?
    2. In WebcamPublisher, why is that the access permission is sent 3 times?
    a. Once on receiving NetStream.Connect.Success with 0.5 second delay, as in below.
    b. Once immediately upon receiving NetStream.Connect.Success, as in below.
    protected function onNetStatus(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void
    if (p_evt.info.code=="NetStream.Connect.Success") {
    setTimeout(sendSnapShotPermission, 500);
    _stream.send("|RtmpSampleAccess", true, true);
    protected function sendSnapShotPermission():void
    _stream.send("|RtmpSampleAccess", true, true);
    c. Once in onConnectionTypeChange() with 2 seconds delay:
    protected function onConnectionTypeChange(p_evt:StreamEvent):void
    if ( _streamManager.isP2P) {
    _stream= new NetStream(_connectSession.sessionInternals.session_internal::connection as NetConnection,NetStream.DIRECT_CONNECTIONS);
    setTimeout(sendSnapShotPermission, 2000);

  • Battling Skype for over a year on overcharges rela...

    I have been battling Skype for over a year on overcharges related to my Skype telephone number subscription and frankly I am sick to death of the overcharges, inability to modify my subscription, the incompetence of the online chat tech support professionals and complete and utter unwillingness to respond to legitimate concerns about overcharges on my account and the need to have credit issued back to me and my account brought up to the subscription program I choose to purchase. Skype has absolutely NO CUSTOMER SERVICE whatsoever through email, bulletin boards, online chat and after over a dozens of tweets directed at twitter accounts Skype, Skypesupport and microsoft over many months with no replies, I am absolutely sick to death and disgusted with Skype and Microsoft, it's people and services. I demand that these problems be resolve, my account credited for the last two Skype number subscription charges and I be allowed to upgrade my Skype telephone number subscription to the extended subscription plan of my choosing and NOT BE FORCED INTO PURCHASING SUBSCRIPTION PLANS THAT I DO NOT WANT OR NEED! I expect someone from Skype to resolve this issue immediately, today, March 31, 2015, as I have been after Skype to correct these ongoing issues for a year to no avail.

    Please review these Community Guidelines and ensure that any future posts are not in contravention of our posting policy and in particular this extract:
    You are expected to maintain a helpful, respectful tone when posting. Opinions are welcome, but they may not escalate into flaming and rudeness against Microsoft, Skype, its staff, other forum members or any other party.
    1. You have not been overcharged. On September 30th 2014 you ordered an Online Number, 3 month recurring subscription and were charged $18.00 which as I have already pointed out is correct. For the following 2 quarters you were charged the same amount.
    2. If you now wish to change the billing frequency to annual you need to cancel your Number at your account page [you won't lose your Number as it is reserved for you for 90 days]. Cancellation is effective on the renewal date of your current billing cycle.
    3. You can then repurchase the same Number using the annual billing option.
    4. Skype Numbers are not refundable so your proposal isn't possible.

  • A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  WHen we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?

    A barcode scanner that was connected directly to the Mac's USB port stopped working as the "USB had too much power drawn", even though it has worked for over a year in that port.  When we plugged it into the port on the keyboard, the device works. Why?  Obviously the device is operational.  Could the USB port have burned out from having too much power drawn?  If so, is it reparable?

    It can't draw "too much" power, it can only draw as much as the USB port is able to provide and no more. IIRC, the keyboard port has a lower power output than the iMac's port.
    That being said, yea, it's possible that the port has failed and it can be replaced or if another port works you can use that one. Although if it is still under warranty or covered by Apple Care, then I would take it to an Apple Store or service provider to get the port repaired.

  • A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    The beeps could be caused by something as simple as a loose internal wire or connection.  If it is under warranty (not sure how long that is, as WD drives range from 1 to 5 years depending on the model's series - I think "my passport" drives are 3 years) you could contact WD and ask them about it.
    If it is out of warranty, you could also try opening the case and check the connections - the drive may be fine, and there have been posts on TomsHardware forums of people getting the beeps, opening up the case and the drive is fine, just some wire worked loose.
