Lenovo service is not able to repair a X240 for 6 weeks now

Question

For meanwhile 6 (!) weeks lenovo is not able to repair my X240. I never thought, that it would be so difficult to repair one of  lenovos highend laptops with 3 years service and extended warrenty
I have to mention, that this ist my 2nd X240. The first one was replaced by lenovo, because it was so bad build, that the local lenovo service denied to open the laptop. 
The new one (4 months old) had until now two new displays,  three mainboards and a new SDD.
About the 10th of december i opened a service request at IBM ESC, because the laptop didn't boot and the new display (the one before died) showed such an extreme ghosting, that one could read on the lock-screen, what was on the screen, before i locked the screen. Second problem: the laptop didn't wake up from standby.
Got a ticket number, but the service needed weeks to get the needed parts. 
In janaury 2015 the service showed up. Meanwhile the laptop booted again. They replaced the display and mainboard. The technician repaced the mainboard to be "sure" that this will not happen again. Result: the laptop didn't boot. His opinion: either the SDD or Mainboard or SSD cable is the reason. He did not use my "old" mainboard, instead he left and said they will contact me again. After he left i saw that he did not assemble the body of the laptop correct wtih the result, that above the rear battery the body was open and bent. And it happend.. nothing! They closed the ticket!!!
A week later the mailroom called and told me that ibm send a parcel. A new SSD! But.. no technician! So i called lenovo again. They told me to open the Laptop and replace the SSD. I refused that. The new X240 is not so easy to open. I told them too, that the SSD cable could be also the reason for the problem.
After DAYS (!) they send me a technician with a new mainboard and he repalced the SSD (which i had to send back to lenovo!). Again no success and he had no SSD cable.
I showed him the body of the laptop and he told me that this is not covered by the warenty. Pardon??? This was not my fault!
Lenovo didn't show up again until i called them. And again a new technician with a new mainboard and without an SSD cable showed up! And what happened? Right! Nothing! The new mainboard did not fix the problem! Surprise.
I called again the support. Told them, that i could not be so difficult to get an SSD cable and a technician.But.. they suggested to send the laptop back to lenovo to repair it. I told him that for 6 weeks the laptop is not working now and that i need that laptop fixed! I don't want to send it in and wait again weeks for the return. The extended warrenty says, that they will repair my laptop on my desk! He told me that he will solve my problem... And what did i get? Yeees, a sticker for a parcel and instructions how to contact UPS.
Sorry lenovo, that is the worst performance ever. 6 Weeks and lenovo is not able to replace a SSD cable and to get the laptop in the shape (closed body) that it was before 3 technicians ruined it.
So lenovo, sry, no carbon 2015 for me. I have to look for an other brand after a bunch of Thinkpads.

Thanks again - Alas, I've been there. Deleted Search a dozen times, at least, and tried installing it, initially using a PowerShell script (tried several scripts actually, from full-blown total Search Applications with extensive topologies to the most basic
of basics 'please just start without showing me errors'), PowerShell line-by-line to see where things went South, next tried installing through Central Admin (hoping that it was my own stupidity in overlooking things and hoping The System would get it right
for me), and eventually even tried using the config wizzard as a total and utter last resort - Nothing worked.
At first, I found out that removing a Service App needs a *little* bit more work than simply removing it through Central Admin, but by now I can truthfully state that if there's one thing I've become supergood at, it's removing Search Service Applications.Totally.
I will check out the article, though - I realized early on in my SharePoint experience that regardless of what you think you know, there's so much more to find out. I know, that's almost philosophical. That is, my friends, indeed the point I've reached...
