I ordered an extended warranty from Lenovo...

How long does it take to activate? They sent me an email and I filled in the document and sent it back to there email address. How long will the activation process take? It's been about 6 days. I did not fill in the "Hardware Purchase" date, does this matter? It did not ask you to fill that in, in the email.

It does take a while. Be patient it will get done. I don't know why it takes so long for the website to be updated but the warranty extension goes into effect when you pay.
I extended a warranty and noticed the same thing. When I called in to find an answer I was told the warranty extension was in effect but the online status had not changed yet. About a month later I checked and it was good.

If you buy an IPad online would it have an Apple warranty and can you get extended warranty from Apple

If you buy an iPad online would it have an Apple warranty. Can you get extended warranty?

If you buy it from the Apple Online store yes it will have full 1 year warranty, and the possibility to directly buy Apple Care +.
If you buy it from somewhere else, it may not. If the online seller is not an Apple authorized reseller then you may need to take to to an Apple Store for physical inspection before purchasing the Apple Care Plus extension.
If its not sealed and new, the warranty timer may have started to elapse, and it may not be eligible for Apple Care +.
But without knowing where you plan to buy it its hard to say for sure.

Extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C

Hi
I am new here so sorry if I posted it under wrong thread.
I want to buy extended warranty for Satellite A300-15C (1+1 standard warranty) so I wanna ask which warranty package gives the longest protection for this model.
2+2 is the longest? ID: SE5054I-PDB.
Secondly, and more importantly, the laptop is more than 1 year old. When i was buying it, in retail store they told me that the extended warranty can be activated at any time, but now I see that there is this 30 days deadline policy. Is there any way how to overcome?
Thanks

Hello Pingo
You must understand that this forum is user-to-user forum and what you need is expert advice. So I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and order best extended warranty option.
At first you can visit Toshiba support page and pick up some info about warranty options.
The link is http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Peripherals & Services
On the same page under Support & Download > Find an ASP you can find address and phone number of your nearest ASP.

Do you recommend an extended warranty

Hi,
I just purchased the following laptop en eBay for $239.00:
[Apple iBook G4 12.1"/1.33GHz/512MB/40G/CM/APX M9850LL/A|http://cgi.ebay.com/Apple-iBook-G4-12-1-1-33GHz-512MB-40G-CM-APX-M985 0LL-AW0QQitemZ120500665948QQcmdZViewItemQQptZApple_Laptops?hash=item1c0e663e5c#ht_400 4wt988]
The total came out to $316.00 including taxes, shipping and 1 gig of memory I purchased from OWC.
Do you recommend purchasing an extended warranty from [Squaretrade.com|http://www.squaretrade.com/pages/email-landing5?ccode=bswar_adword036:keyword&gclid=CJmtqtWf4Z4CFRQhDQodZyBjOQ] to cover the laptop?
The price is $40.00 for one year or $60.00 for two years.

aigoosung:
Glad you had a good experience with your iBook G4. If you type in "logic board" in the search field in this forum you will find that the iBook series, both G3 and G4, has had significant logic board issues. The logic board is expensive to repair/replace. Thus my suggestion that it might be worth getting the extended warranty if it covered everything and did not have excessive copays or deductibles. That is not to say that all iBooks have logic board issues, but it was enough of an issue that Apple had a recall on the logic board early in the history of the iBook, and the Danish government sued Apple on the issue. Otherwise I would not normally recommend and extended warranty. I have never purchased one myself, but I have never purchased an iBook.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

ThinkPad W520: Parts Wrongly Listed in and/or Missing from Lenovo Order Status Page

I ordered a configured ThinkPad W520 off Lenovo.com for USD1500 yesterday. Later when I went back to check my order status, to my surprise some parts were either shown up incorrectly or simply missing.
For example my ThinkPad W520 includes (but not limited to) these parts:
Parts missing from Lenovo Order Status page:
UltraNav with TrackPoint & touchpad
Express Card Slot & 4 in 1 Card Reader
Question: Where are they? Why missing?
Parts shown incorrectly on Lenovo Order Status page:
I've ordered: 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) LED Backlit Anti-Glare Display, Mobile Broadband Ready
Lenovo Order Status page shows: SBB 15.6FHD (1900 X 1080) LED
Question: Why 1900 instead of 1920? What gives?
To be on the safe, I tried hard to match each of the parts consisting my ThinkPad W520. So far the above are my concerns. I know many of you are long-time Lenovo patrons. I'd appreciate your patience look through the below complete lists and advise if Lenovo indeed have received my order correctly.

I purchased a new lenovo laptop essential G510 on 16 march 2014 online from flipkart.com.
I also got free extended warranty with this laptop purchase but I am unable to register the warranty pack as per guidelines given in the brochure.none of the link given in the brocure are working nor the toll free number( 180030029929 ) given can be contacted.
On calling lenovo customer care on 1800-3000-5366 for ideapad user they are unable to resolve the issue or moreover unable to understand the issue .
The service pack has a model number (0C07942) and has written on it ideapad U/Y/Z/G :1 yr onsite -3/3/1 and inside it I have a offering number and an authorization number.
i have also mailed all my details to [email protected] with no reply from them for a month now.
can anybody help me please on how to register this service pack because I paid 4000 for this to flipkart and now it seems like waste without the registration

Hi Pal,
you need to use the Java Connector v 2.1.8 and there is no need to register the DLL.

No Service and warranty support from Lenovo in the Service Center for K900... HCL Touch Jalandhar.

I recently bought this phone on 25th day of Octuber 2013. And 17 days earlier while using the phone it suddenly restarted itself then never detects any sim card. After that I checked the sim card, cleaned it with a cloth and reinserted it in the phone but the phone didn't detects it, also tried other sim cards but no sim was detected in the phone. Then I made a call in the Lenovo smartphone customer care and I told them about the problem in the phone and they gave me addresses and numbers of two service centers; first in Chandigarh and second in Jalandhar. Jalandhar was the nearest SC for me, so I visited the authorised Service center of Lenovo in Jalandhar city "Logic Computers C o HCL Care" then I gave the phone to their technician for inspection. After throughly inspecting the phone he announced that the phone's motherboard have to be replaced wih the new MB as the sim card slot is not working. Then they returned my phone and told me that the complaint for this handset is registered with them and I will be called whenever the motherboard reaches the SC. Now its already 16th day from the day I registered the complaint but I didn't received any message or call from the SC; instead I called them twice and they just have one answer that the complaint is under processing in the system and the part is not available in the company. They also told me that it might takes an month or never be repaired as the company is very irresponsible for after sale service support. Sol there's no support and warranty for the Lenovo Smartphones in India. It was my first Lenovo product and it just failed to prove that they worth the cost. If Lenovo Support really exist in India please replace or repair my phone as I had spent Rs 24000 over it. My complaint number is SRIN0701404240002; the complaint is registered by "Vaishnav Anand". Please prove yourself or I will spread all about your Bad Service Support all over the internet and registered a case against you in Consumer Court. Thanks

Solved!
Finally I've got another DVD recovery set from Lenovo. Now it works. Seems that the first DVD set was invalid .

Lenovo Refusal to Provide Extended Warranty following purchase

On April 9, 2014 I first contacted Lenovo to see if I could purchase a Thinkpad X140e and upon being told that the model was out of stock and being reassured that I could still purchase the laptop at officedepot.com and purchase a Lenovo extended warranty with at home service including customer damage for around 150 or so. Warranty service refused to do so multiple times claiming that the computer did not exist. I communicated with them and sent the receipt multpile times and write snail mail to Corporate HQ asking for resolution.
i have all paperwork including letters and emails. And made at least 4 phone calls to warranty getting absolutely nowhere. I still need that warranty and am rather disgusted with Lenovo; this is a first for me. All documentation is available and I have no idea what to do. I feel that I have the right to pay for spilling coffee on my laptop and getting it repaired; this is my first and last Lenovo laptop at this point.

Good day and welcome to the community.
Sorry you're having difficulties.
What options do you get if you use your serial number on the Warranty Upgrade page?

My macbook pro charger does not work!! I have extended warranty/Guarantee from the store, do they exchange or give me a new one?

Hi,
There is a problem with my MacBook Pro Charger. It was working for a few months, but then it just doesnt work. My laptop doesnt charge!!
I have an extended guarantee from the store, i got my laptop, does it apply Warrantee/Guarantee? There is no problem with my laptop, cause it charges all fine with my wife's charger!
Thanks

In as much as we here are not the store the best thing to do is bring it back and have them give you a new one. You should be most certainly covered under warranty. (As long as your dog didn't eat it).

HELP!!! New U110 - Extended Warranty not listed under my S/N!?!?!

I just received a new IdeaPad u110 and purchased 3yr at home service warranty but when looking up my S/N on the Lenovo support site it states that the system is only covered under warranty until 2009-08-10. I completed the online customer registration thinking maybe that would change the date but it did not. The order status/shipping email I received from Lenovo lists my extended warranty purchase and it's part number (45J8002 3YR ONSITE IPAD SVS UPGRADE) and I was billed for it.
Does it not show up on the site or go in effect until the standard one year expires? I just want to mke sure everything is squared away to avoid future problems should I need the warranty service. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I think your warranty is allright. Onsite base shows only warranty that is given to all systems by default.
No reason to panic =)

W500 Extended Warranty

I am thinking about purchasing a Lenovo ThinkPlus - Extended service agreement - parts and labor - 3 years - on-site - 9x5 - NBD P/N 41C9176. As I just ordered a W500 from the Lenovo Outlet store, with a 1 Year warranty. How close to end of the current 1 year ( or if it was a 3 year warranty), would one have to wait, before extending the warranty for 3 more years?

Somewhere on the Lenovo Support web site, there is a web application that takes your machine's serial number and retrieves the original warranty start and expiry dates. Once you purchase the extended warranty, the warranty period is extended from the original warranty start date, and the web application will display an addition field showing that the machine is under an extended warranty and display the expiry date of that warranty as well. If you sell the machine during that period, the extended warranty is still valid, it's attached to the machine, not the person who bought it.
I would definitely get some level of extended warranty for the longest period you think you will be using the notebook; I have the "EasyServ" depot 5 year international warranty to sometime in mid-2013, and when the discrete graphics had trouble, I received my repaired machine 2 days after dropping it off in the packaging that Lenovo couriered to me after determining that a repair was the only solution (it helps that I live in a city that has a Flextronics repair facility, which is where Lenovo does its warranty repairs, but the basic depot service should be quite fast no matter where you are, once the machine arrives there, since in most cases the repair parts are already there or on order).

Yoga 13 - Lot's of problems and no answers from Lenovo

Hi everyone
Just wanted to post my experiences with the Yoga 13 issues and explain the problems and what Lenovo is doing (or mostly not doing) in relation to these. I have been dealing with this for 9 weeks now already, for the first 7 weeks I remained quite calm with them about it. After that I’m afraid the situation has had to be escalated considerably. I won’t go into the full details of everything that has happened as it would take all day. Suffice to say that Lenovo have been terrible to deal with, lied continually and ignore anything they don’t want to do (much like on this forum).
I appreciate that not everyone seems to be having all of these issues. But each of them is widely reported on Lenovo’s forums here. Lenovo accept it conversations with me that these are all valid issues with the Yoga and justify it by saying that Ideapad laptops are not as good quality as Thinkpads.
Also worth stating is that my work is in an advisory role for a company that is a large Lenovo customer. This should never have been a consideration as the Yoga was a personal purchase. Unfortunately Lenovo chose to involve their sales people and teams who I deal with for work related issues. This only really meant that internal communication at Lenovo between departments was even worse than usual and it meant different departments offered different things and gave different explanations. I wanted to be treated as any other customer would be who had purchased a Yoga 13.
Wifi card, range and signal strength are terrible. It also drops connections and sometimes won’t wake from sleep. During general usage the low quality, cheap realtek wifi card proves to be very poor. It is connected via an internal USB hub which goes someway to explain why it has sleep issues. For some reason Lenovo decided to design this computer with the antennas beneath the keyboard under a layer of metal shielding. This already provides a terrible level of signal. Couple this with the two additional layers of metal on the top and bottom of the machine and turning it into tablet mode seriously reduces the wifi strength even further. This is a flawed design decision and I consider it a fault, especially considering the pricing of this computer. Due to the wireless issues the computer drops connections often and many times won’t reconnect. I set up the yoga after it’s replacement wifi card next to a Thinkpad, Macbook Pro and Sony Vaio, all of the other computers connected at more than twice the speed that the Yoga is able to even at only 6ft from the wifi access point. If Lenovo wish to charge so much for a laptop and advertise it as having ‘n speed’ wifi then it should be comparable to other similarly priced laptops. While not a fault, I also find the inclusion of only a single band 2.4ghz wifi card to be quite unacceptable considering the price of the computer, no other competing products choose to go for such low quality components in their premium priced products, it is simply not fit for purpose. Lenovo accepted the wifi as a major issue with the U310 and U410 models but of course making any kind of statement of a known problem will be costly for them, so they choose to ignore customers as it is less expensive to deal with.
I find it interesting that some users report their wifi as being perfect. I would ask anyone who claims this to connect it along with another laptop to the same network and move more than 15 ft from the router and try to copy some files across the network. Compare the two and see the difference. If you already have less than a 20Mbps internet connection and don’t use your wireless network for anything other than internet access quite close to the router then you’ll probably not have the same problem as much.
Solution: There is none. Lenovo will replace the wifi card for another one under the warranty but it won’t fix the problem and the flawed design. For a proper solution to this problem then read at the bottom of this post regarding replacement/refund options that Lenovo are offering in this situation. Fiddling with wifi settings and routers is not a solution when every other computer (including Lenovo ones) works perfectly on that network.
The touchscreen cuts out and requires a reset to start working again. During operation the touchscreen simply stops responding. A full reset is required to make it work again. The fact that a reset fixes it instantly shows to me that this isn’t a hardware fault. It is a further example of Lenovo’s flawed design and also perhaps a software issue. The touchscreen is also attached to the internal USB hub, whether this is related to the wifi problem above I am unsure. This is completely unacceptable on a touch based device and is not fit for purpose.
Solution: There is none. Lenovo will replace the touchscreen under the warranty but it won’t fix the problem and the flawed design. For a proper solution to this problem then read at the bottom of this post regarding replacement/refund options that Lenovo are offering in this situation.
The autorotate stops responding. Again as a tablet device the autorotate is an important feature. Since coming back from repair with Lenovo it has started occasionally not responding. I was told to flip the machine over, open and close and press the ‘autorotate on/off’ button a few times as a solution. This is not an acceptable solution on an expensive machine and is not fit for purpose on a tablet based machine.
Solution: Lenovo recommend pressing the button a few times and opening and closing the lid. Restarting also might help. This is not a solution.
The keyboard is extremely low quality, bounces and is uncomfortable to use over an extended period. Lenovo have always been well known for producing great quality keyboards. However the cheap one they decided to put on the Yoga is really not fit for purpose. It is a simple panel keyboard that is secured in place using double sided sticky tape. Seriously, a taped down keyboard on a premium priced computer! It started to come up in one corner and pivots around several of the keys in the upper right corner. I added more double sided sticky tape under it to better secure it (as recommended on Lenovo’s customer support forums), this worked for a short while to hold it down better. The keyboard was replaced by lenovo as part of the repairs. It is still bouncy though, low quality and uncomfortable to type on for extended periods.
Solution: Lenovo will replace the keyboard under warranty. But the new one is still stuck down with double sided sticky tape.
The touchpad sticks and occasionally stops working. As the touchpad is the same as others used in competing products I can only assume this is a driver related issue. However, as the Yoga has been released for 6 months now it should have been addressed with a driver update by now. Lenovo don’t seem to care about this. They will replace it under warranty, but it won’t fix anything.
Solution: Lenovo will replace the touchpad under warranty. The new one will still be the same.
The paint peels off the corners of the device’s metal top and bottom. Due to the soft touch paint finish applied to the metal top and bottom of the machine then it rubs of in high usage areas such as the hinge and the corners. The aesthetics of a premium priced computer are actually important and it should not happen. This appears to be a flaw in the design of the machine again and makes it unfit for purpose.
Solution: Lenovo will try to tell you that it is not covered by the warranty and that you did it yourself. After a lot of pushing they will replace both the top and bottom panels under the warranty.
Lenovo, particularly their service centre team, are very unresponsive to questions about these issues. They will claim on first ask that they have no knowledge of any of these issues. Then they will try to blame the user and how they use the machine. After further pushing they actually will start to do something.
Options available to customers. These have all been offered to me by Lenovo over the last few weeks.
Repair: Lenovo will take in your machine for repair and replace every single component (as they did with mine). They refuse to replace the machine initially as the terms of the warranty state ‘repair’. This will not fix the issues as it is due to flawed design and cheap internal components. I have had mine taken in now 4 times, of which they kept it for a week twice now.
Sell it privately with free product compensation: This was a very strange offer and one I felt a little uncomfortable about. Lenovo offered that if I chose to sell the machine privately (as they have so many problems) then they would give me a free Thinkpad Tablet 2 as compensation for the loss of value. I thought about this but turned them down, it seemed a little too dodgy to me.
Replacement with another Yoga: Lenovo offered me a replacement Yoga machine. They claimed a couple of weeks ago that a new model was arriving with a revised wifi design and CPU. Unfortunately when these arrived in stock (these are the ones reported a few posts back) they found they still have the same Realtek wifi card and flawed antenna design. So they quickly told me they didn’t want to do this anymore and offered new options. I would have been happy with the option if they had fixed the issues in the new one.
Replacement with a Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch at no extra cost: I have been offered a replacement for my Yoga with an X1 Carbon Touch. It is the only other machine in Lenovo’s product lineup that has an equivalent specs list. I said that this was a perfectly acceptable solution but they have since pushed me into the final option, refund.
Refund: Lenovo have offered me a full refund for the machine even though it was bought from a retail shop. In Hong Kong we are not lucky enough to have 30 day returns and things like that so shops don’t want to be involved after 7 days. Lenovo have said that they will issue a full refund to me. This was the option they chose in the end of the three acceptable ones. However they are now kicking their heels on it and have told me it will be another 3 weeks before they can think about doing it.
Although reading these may seem like Lenovo have attempted to do their best. Unfortunately that couldn’t be further from the truth. This has taken nearly 10 weeks of my time so far. Lenovo have attempted at every step of the way to tell me it is not covered by warranty or that the issue does not exist (or is my own fault). I have had to create videos showing the problems, document and take photos of everything. They have hardly ever initiated a conversation about this and I have had to make every single call. It reached the point where I had to threaten legal action before they finally offered some proper solutions.
My recommendation for anyone thinking of buying a Yoga 13 is to think again. Although some people seem happy with theirs, I can’t see that any of the machines can really be perfect with so many flaws. The price is the same as other premium machines from Apple, Sony, Asus and Samsung. Buy one of these and you will be much happier.
For those that already bought one and has problems then it is a little bleak without some arguing. Lenovo are ignoring the problems posted here on the forums and trying to tell customers that ‘no one else is having that problem’. It took a lot of online attention before they accepted the flawed design with the U310 and U410 models. My hope is that they do take notice of their customers in this case but I am very doubtful that they will as it would cost them money (they are after all a business so money comes first over customers). If anyone would like to follow up with Lenovo and would like to reference my case when seeking the resolution options then I will post my customer service reference numbers when I get back to the office on Monday. I am based in Hong Kong but Lenovo warranties on the Yoga are international so I feel options should be the same for all customers.
Maybe my expectations are too high, I just expected a computer that costs more than $1000 to work properly out of the box.

As I don't want to install additional software to measure temparetures I can't tell you about my exact core temperatures. However, I can tell you that my fans go off again when load decreases for some time.

How many times can I extend warranty (Thinkplus Extended Service Agreement)?

I have a T60, which came with an original 3-year warranty. Before the warranty expired in August 2009, I purchased Thinkplus extended service for 1 year (41C9279) for $199, which expires in August 2010. Can I purchase additional Thinkplus extended service for 1-2 more years before the August 2010 expiry date?
Lenovo still offers 1 and 2-year post-warranty services for my T60 (2007-C2U model), as this link states:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TPAD-PWMA
But I read somewhere that the warranty can only be extended once. Does that mean I cannot purchase more extended service agreements? And if I can, does the Thinkplus extended service also apply internationally, if the original warranty was eligible for international warranty?
Thanks

Model 2007 is pretty well-covered when it comes to IWS, but without knowing what country exactly you're planning on travelling or moving to, it's tough to say.
Here's the list, though:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/warrantyLookup.do?type=2007&iws=on&sitestyle=lenovo
As for extending warranty for another year, give Lenovo a call and check first hand. The rule of the thumb is that the machine can't be under warranty for longer than five years of the original purchase date, at least to my knowledge.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
George

Yoga S1 Windows 8.1 Activation Disabled and poor (or no support from Lenovo at all).

Dear Lenovo Friends,
I've purchased Thinkpad Yoga S1 with Windows 8.1 onboard.
I've had an OS problem that leaded me to order Recovery DVDs via Lenovo Thinkpad Support in Poland (thanks, got disc set in 7 days).
After reinstallation the WIndows 8.1 OS keeps saying my licence code embedded into BIOS is invalid and I can no longer activate the system. See the event log for sample try and fail on activation my system, please.

I've contacted the Lenovo Support in Poland and they tend to tell that this is because Microsoft has invalidated my codes for unknown reason. Contacting Microsoft they told me that it its vendor's (Lenovo) problem and they are not responsible - shall I obtain new licence key from Lenovo. The Polish Thinkpad support is working on the problem since January the 9th, with no success.
The Windows grace period is already over and I cannot use my ultrabook now without activating the licence.
Is this the famous Thinkpad support quality? I already own 4 Thinkpads and sorry gyus but I'm considering swithing to some other vendor.
When I called them, the solution provided by the Thinkpad support was... "would you please reainstall the OS once more to get another grace period?" I was thinking it was a kind of joke, but it wasn't... Asking for the responsibility of the Lenovo for the Windows OS they provided I was told that Lenovo is not responsible and I was given the advice to buy the hardware with no OS next time, have box licence from Microsoft separatelly.
I'm really disappointed. This is my last Thinkpad I believe. It seems even having the warranty it is not enoug to get support from Lenovo - I'm on my own...
