How can I get an estimate of repair?

Hey guys,
I have a T430s that has the connector where the AC adapter goes broken and I would like to know how much will Lenovo charge me to repair it.
The laptop is NOT under warranty anymore and I already opened a service ticket, but nobody is answering it from Lenovo.
Thanks.
Solved!

How did you open the ticket?
If you haven't already, I'd call Service, direct, and chat with them: 1-800-426-7378 to see what cost you're looking at.
Alternatively, since the laptop isn't under warranty, and if you or a friend/colleague/family member is comfortable working inside your laptop, grab a copy of your Hardware Maintenance Manual: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?DocID=UM014461 and have a look at manual pages: 91-92. The good news is that the input jack isn't soldered to the system board.
Looking at the FRU BOM: http://download.lenovo.com/parts/ThinkPad/T430s_FRU_BOM.pdf that part is FRU P/N 04W3997.
Searching for that FRU P/N at the Maintenance Parts site: http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/PromotionDisplay?promoName=pa... shows it as "available" with a price of $34 + S/H.
Hope this helps.

  • How can I get my iPhone 4 repaired while away from home?

    I will be working in Manila in the Philippines for the next few months.
    My iPhone 4 has developed a hardware fault and needs to be repaired. It is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay for the cost of the repair myself. The Apple Authorized Service Providers here inform me that the only organizations who carry out repairs are the two official iPhone distributors in the country. Unfortunately, neither of these companies are willing to repair my iPhone because it was not purchased from them.
    I am told that I will have to fly back to the country I originally purchased the unit from to have the work carried out there.
    People travel and work all around the world these days. Do Apple really expect their customers to fly to a different country just to get their phone
    repaired? How is someone travelling on a business trip supposed to manage without his phone if it develops a fault while he is away from
    home?
    Does anyone know a way I can get my iPhone fixed while I am here?

    As I explained, I'm not asking for Apple to provide warranty support. I'm quite willing to pay for the cost myself. The problem is that none of the authorized Apple service centers are willing to accept the unit for repair because it wasn't purchased from them.
    Its quite shameful that Apple permits its official support organizations to behave in this way. Someone working away from home should be able to get their phone repaired if it develops a fault. These things are not toys for many of us. A lot of people depend on them to carry out their business.

  • My ipad1 had a gray are across the middle of the screen. How do I get an estimate of how much it will cost to repair it. If I can't where can I send this so it will be recycled responsibly?

    I have an iPad 1. I have a gray bar across the middle of the iPad. I have heard this  is a common problem among the first generation iPads. How to I get an estimate on how much it will cost to get fixed, and if that is not possible, where to send this (and my broken iPods) so they can be recycled responsibly?

    If you head over to ifixit.com, you can check out their replacement guides for each of the items you feel needs replacing. The cost for the parts is listed there. It would be that cost + labor at an Apple store. I'm not sure if they would replace things that are cracked as that is cosmetic damage and doesn't affect how well (or poorly) the computer works. You would have to bring it to a store and ask.

    When you erased the disk did you select Mac OS Extended Journaled as the format option?

  • How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired?

    The ipod dock on my Ilive  it188b stopped working and doesn't play or charge my compatible ipod which works on my other stereo. Everything else on the stereo works fine. I contacted the company and they would not sell me a replacement dock because of their agreement with Apple. How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired? I have checked locally, and the electronics hospital reapair place will not work on it. Is my only option to try and sell it on craigslist or ebay?

    You can arrange online service here.

    If it's busted, you get a replacement.

    My pages was erased during a recent repair by apple. How can I get it back ?

    Ask Apple to give you an installer.
    They are usually good with that.

  • I ran repair disk permissions an all my photos in aperture are gone. How can I get them back?

    If you've turned on "Find my iPhone" on the device you can track its location at iCloud. The device must be powered on and have internet access to be located.
    Doubtful you ever backed up your "camera roll" to iCloud but you may have backed it up to your computer via iTunes. You can "restore" that backup to your new iOS device but you can't view the contents of that backup and pick out pieces of it.

    First things first if your iPhone cannot be recognised by your computer then you wont be able to get those photos off the iPhone.
    In the event that it can be recognised you could import the photos to your PC/Mac. Follow the article below to do this:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices
    Or you could do a back up on iTunes of the iPhone which would save the photos in your camera roll. The article below will guide you on how to do this:

    All the best

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    Don't downgrade OS X without first erasing the drive. You cannot restore a Time Machine backup of Lion directly on top of a later version of OS X such as Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
    Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
    Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
    Quit Disk Utility
    Then Select: Restore from a Time Machine Backup.

  • How can I get my bookmarks and mailboxes off my old iBook G4 that crashed?

    My OS crashed. I reinstalled it, but still could not access anything. I took the computer to a repair person. He created a new account and retrieved everything I had on my desktop, but not my mailboxes or bookmarks. He said there is a way to do that, but it would be very expensive for me to have him do it. He said I could come here and find out. So here I am.
    I can get online and to the desktop of this new account, but that's all. How can I get that stuff? I need it very badly.......
    It was an iBook G4 14" with 10.4.11.
    Thanks!
