Lenovo Warrantee

Hi Everyone,
Newbie here. I'm expecting delivery on my new U110 and I'm having second thoughts that I should have ordered an extended warrantee. My experience with PCs is that they are electronics and unless you throw it in the bathtub, if hardward fails because it is defective, it will usually go within the first few months. However, this has not been the case with most if not all the laptops I've owned (Dell, Gateway, HP). I don't think I've ever made it through (3) years without something going wrong and because of that, I've always extended the warrantee to (3) years at the point of purchase. Well, to make a short story longer, because I was a little tight with funds on this purchase, I didn't purchase the warrantee and now I'm having second thoughts. I've read that Lenovo builds a quality machine and I thought I'd ask around and get some feedback from you folks. Should I bite the bullet and extend the warrantee? Thanks in advance.

Unless you're asking about adding Accidental Damage Protection (to cover dropping it in the bathtub although I don't think it includes the life insurance your heirs would want ), as far as I know you can wait until the last day of the existing warranty to extend it. If you are asking about adding Accidental Damage Protection, that has to be done with 30 days of purchase (or is it within 21 days? someone help me out here).

Lenovo Warrantee Information

I have searched Lenovo's sight and googled it... I can't find any detailed information about the extended warrantee's Lenovo offers.
They will tell you the most basic information and many third parties offer the same. Can anyone give me some direction to finding out what these plans actually cover?
Thanks,
Marc

Marc,
You may need to explain a bit more as to what specifically you are looking for. But, in the in mean time, you might follow this link to our support site which lists all the warranty information. Following the links from that page, you can check whether your system is under warranty, learn about international warranty coverage, where to call, what countries have warranty service available for which systems, etc. In addition, the actual warranty terms for the various systems are downloadable as doccuments.
This link will take you from that page to a page where the various service and warranty upgrades are explained, such as upgrading from depot repair coverage to onsite service, or the accidental protection coverages found as part of Thinkpad Protection.
Hopefully the information on these pages will help you with the answers you are looking for.
If not, tell us a bit more about what your looking for...
Best regards,
ThinkPads: S30, T43, X60t, X1, W700ds, IdeaPad Y710, IdeaCentre: A300, IdeaPad K1

2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)

I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga, with a 256GB SSD and an i5 processor.
I received it on April 29. After two weeks of normal use, it crashed and gave this error:
“2100: Detection error on HDD0 (Main HDD)”
I could not get it to boot. I took it to a computer repair shop and they (Lenovo warrantee) replaced the SSD. It worked for about a week, then crashed again, same error. My tech guy said that it might be a bad board, frying hard drives; but Lenovo insisted on replacing the hard drive again. Ten days later, same crash. I unplugged it and put it on a shelf for the weekend, intending to take it back to the shop. Monday morning I plugged it in and it started up normally.
It has been working normally for three days, but I am worried about getting the same error and crash. Can you tell me what might be happening, and if there is anything I can do to prevent a recurrence?
This seems to be a common problem across many machine models, but I haven't found any solutions to it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks!

Lenovo T420, Type 4177 Review

Lenovo T420, Type 4177-CTO. Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, third party 128 GB SSD added.
After inspecting many laptops I chose the ThinkPad T420. The only better laptop was Apple and I needed different software.
An important consideration for any computer is support. Lenovo has excellent support at 1-800-426-7378. Tech support and repair happens right here in the United States. Repairs are done in Tennessee.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 is a solid laptop. It is not as light as some laptops but strength and durability need to be considered. Weight of machine with a large 6 cell battery and a slice battery = 6 lb. 7 oz. (3060 kg). The laptop weighs 5 lb. 5 oz. (2430 kg) with just the large 6 cell battery. The 6 cell battery weighs 1 lb. 1.5 oz. (500kg) and the 6 cell battery would then weigh 1/3 less. You can compute the difference. Keep in mind my battery life with the slice battery installed is about 17 hours. The slice battery also places the laptop on a slight angle with the rear elevated. It is about the same tilt as with the docking station. You cannot have the slice battery installed while the laptop in in the docking station.
The 6 cell battery sticks out the back so it is not a perfect cosmetic fit. The 4 cell battery will look nicer, be lighter and probably last about 4 hours.
The overall design is perfect in my opinion. I find no problems. The T420 uses the LED night light that shines from the top of the display to the keyboard area. It can be turned on and off with the Fn function key. There are many Fn function keys that are great. I really like the Fn-Space bar that magnifies the display.
The speakers are well positioned and are adequate. They could have higher volume considering where they are installed.
I really like the Lenovo mouse pad and mouse button configuration. I wish the mouse speed adjustment would go a little faster but it is acceptable. Some laptops I tested are far too slow, even with the mouse settings as fast as they go. The T420 has the best mouse operation of any laptop.
The Windows Pro 7 operating system and Lenovo will only allow one set of recovery disks. Do your backup recovery disks with good quality DVDs. Lenovo will provide a set of recovery disks if you need them. DVD-RAM is not supported by the Recovery Disks, but SSD drives are supported. The Lenovo T420 is designed to run on SSD drives.
Recovery Data notes. If you stop in the middle of Disk 4, you will have the first 3 disks and you can still make a copy of all 4 disks. At the end of disk 4 the computer turns Recovery disk copy off. You cannot make more copies.
Disc 1, Boot Media
Disc 2, Recovery Media 1
Disc 3, Recovery Media 2
Disc 4, Recovery Media 3
Notes:
HD Boot time = 41.4 seconds
SSD Boot time = 29.6 seconds
This is with little software installed. With more programs installed the boot up time will increase. Keep in mind the first phase of boot up consists of BIOS and hardware communications. With many programs installed the SSD will really be nice. The Registry loading will be totally SSD dependent and fast.
HD partitions and size before SSD installation.
Lenovo Recovery partition = 9.67GB used + 5.94GB free = 15.63GB
System Drive partition = 3.34MB used + 865MB free = 1.17GB
Local Disk C partition = 27.9 GB used + 420 GB free = 448.96 GB
Total GB = 465.76

Adding SSD card
(I used the MyDigitalSSD 128GB 50mm Bullet Proof mSATA PCI-e drive. Some SSDs are a little faster but cost much more.)
Install SSD
Initialized SSD card in My Computer, Manage, Disk Drives
Turn off laptop and remove HD
Boot to Recovery discs
Restore to factory default. (The Recovery disks only have the SSD to restore to)
When finished you can test the operation of your laptop on the SSD drive. Test by going into your BIOS to make sure you know how to get there. Boot using F1 for BIOS setup.
Turn off the laptop and install the hard drive.
Boot to BIOS (Do this first before booting Windows)
Remove HD from boot sequence. Go ahead and setup your boot sequence to something like SSD, DVD, and then USB, etc. Do not include the HD
Then I go to My Computer, Manage, Disk Drives and I do some major changes here.
You must make your own decisions. The SSD drive is prime real-estate and a 20GB recovery partition is out of the question (for me). The Recovery discs have been created. I decided to merge partitions on the SSD drive. Windows 7 Pro will handle this easily on the active drive. Now, there are actually 2 smaller partitions and the smaller 1GB partition cannot be removed. Apparently the operating system needs it. The larger 19GB partition can easily be removed and added to the C drive. No 3rd party partitioning software is needed with Windows 7 Professional. Go to Start, right click My Computer, left click Manage. Select Disk Management. Select the Lenovo_Recovery partition and remove it. Now select the primary partition (C: drive) and select merge. Use the full size of the deleted partition space. The System_Drv partition could not be removed on my SSD. It is only 1.17GB and probably essential.
Change drive letters in Manage, Disk Management. Fortunately the main drive was named the C drive. I do not think you can change the drive letter of the active drive partition for some operating systems. After reinstalling the HD there is no telling what letter Windows will give it. Rename it to D drive if you want to. You can also remove the Recovery partition on the hard drive. I decided to depend totally on my backup restore DVDs and knowing Lenovo would send me another copy if needed.
The computer controls the use of the 2 video card functions but it can also be controlled in the BIOS.
Your warrantee is not void if you install the memory or SSD. The machine is designed for those additions. The installation of my extra memory was a tight fit. Be careful. Don’t use metal tools or do anything stupid.
Notes: Boot to F11 for recovery. F12 for selecting boot device. Boot using F1 for BIOS setup. The ThinkAdvantage button takes you to a variety of places. I don’t really know where it goes.
Now if you are looking for the User’s Guide you will only find the Hardware Manual. It takes the place of the User Guide and is formatted a little differently. It is OK.
Most other attributes of the laptop are on the selection menus on the Lenovo web site. You can get just about anything you want except the T420 did not have a Blu Ray player at the time I ordered mine. It did not have a GPS option but it could be obtained via 3G subscriptions using telephone towers. If you want a real GPS you can buy many 3rd party USB modules that will tell you where you are at using global satellites.

Error 1721 on repair/uninstall/reinstall of Lenovo Solution Center Windows 8 64-bit

Hello,
I am seeking a solution to a problem with Lenovo Solution Center on a Lenovo W530 machine running Win 8 64-bit.
It was not updating the warrantee information, and so I attempted an install with the newest version of the program. It refused to uninstall. Lenovo support then decided that the best approach was to eliminate the directory containing the program.
Now I still have the program listed in my installed programs, but there is nothing I can do with it. It does not appear on my desktop (not surprisingly) but does not uninstall and using the new install package does NOT provide the option of install, but solely to uninstall or repair, neither of which works - giving the error 1721 message.
Next steps? (Tier 2 was to phone me over 1 week ago - no call....).
Gary
Solved!
Go to Solution.

After trying al the hints without effect, the last hint with the "MS FixIt"
-Tool finally solved the problem!!!!!
It found 2 older {xxxxxxxxxxxxxx} registry entries from 2 former manual
updates which caused the problem. I had to run it 2 times for removing all
error-causing problems.
After that ,the last version of the Lenovo Solution Center Windows 64-bit
package was able to install perfectly and is now running without any
problems .
This solution I was looking for the last 3-4 months!!!!!!!
Thanks very very much ,for your perfect & profound help!
May I post this full solution letter of yours into the Lenovo forum,plse.??
I saw many people with the same 1721-fault searching for help too!
Again many thanks
Yours sincerely

Lenovo Y50-70: Battery Caused Wifi Problem

Hello, When my charger for the laptop is plugged in, it seems to somehow limit my internet access. This phenomenon seems rather new, as I havent noticed it for months, unless I somehow ignored it. When it's in, browsers process slow, or internet connection ceases; in short, i get very frustrated with the wifi/internet when it's in. When it's out, wifi is MUCH better and flows smoothly; perfectly fine
Does anyone know what the heck can be causing this problem?

Scrima99 wrote:
Thank you for replying!
So, when you talk about the circuit, do you mean the circuitry of my house, or the batter charger itself or the laptop itself? Should I request a new power coord and swap my old one with a new one, since my laptop still falls under warranty?
I spoke to my friend's family who are pretty smart with computers, and two said: "If the charger is emitting a high frequency noise, it will prevent the laptop from connecting. This is only possible however if the charger is charging (meaning using AC or DC electricity in any way."--"Laptop hardware is messed up, meaning the hardware is trying to charge your laptop and connect to the wifi through the same interrupt (same port)."Reference # 8005115756 I spoke with Lenovo support about it and customer support just forwarded the issue to experts; that's the reference number. Do you recommend that I just try to get a new charger and see if that fixes it? My laptop is pretty much unusuable in terms of browsing on the internet when it's plugged in. I could experiment to see what it does plugged in if i move into the room with the router, but I'm only a room away and it shouldnt make that much difference; besides, browsing works fine without the charger plugged in. I also haven't tried it plugged in at different locations yet, but I dont understand why it's having so much trouble when plugged in. Scrima99 wrote: "...when you talk about the circuit, do you mean the circuitry of my house, or the batter charger itself or the laptop itself?" Answer: The circuitry between your charger and the battery. See page 86 hardware maintenance manual or page 68 on how to remove the powerboard. Since your laptop is still under warrantee it is better to let Lenovo do the repair/troubleshooting themselves.

Lenovo Extended service start point?

I plan buy an XP-PRO T410 with an included 3 year warrantee from a lenovo partner. These resellers (e.g. cdw.com , costcentral.com, etc) offer Lenovo extended warrantees from Lenovo. However, no resellers seem to bother to list whether these extended plans start from purchase or from the end of the included period. If I want 5-year coverage do I need to buy a 5 year extended plan or a 2 year plan? I actually contacted two resellers and got two different answers even thought the Plan I specifically asked about had the same Lenovo part #.

Can I return my Lenovo S 205 ?

Hi guys, I have had a multitude a problems since owning my Lenovo S 205 some 8 months ago.
I got the laptop via Laptops Direct, an online laptop store.
The first problem I experienced was when the laptop kept on shutting down on its own quite a few times. This I later discovered was because the laptop battery had a tendency to become loose sometimes.
The second problem was when it began to freeze after I installed another version of MS Office.
The third problem was when it lost its bluetooth capabilities, although the bluetooth device had been detected as present.
I managed to get the second and third problems fixed by a friend. However, after two weeks, the two problems have returned...TA-RAAA !
I can only recommen other people to stay away from Lenovo right now !
Does anyone know if I can return my Lenovo laptop and get a refund for it, so I can get something else like a Toshiba or an Asus ? Thanks very much !

hi teresanazir,
sorry to say that but refund is not possible at this point. have you tried to contact lenovo support line to ship it back to service for your issues?

Can I return my new laptop to lenovo because of its quality problem?

IBM is one of the best brand as I know, especially showing us not only high quality of products but the service.
But now one thing happened to me, if I don't have this case I can't believe. I found there is something with the laptop(T61 Model 7658CTO) the same day when I got the new laptop on June 3rd, 2008. Then I call 800, a lot of 800 calls,at last I were told that I should contact send it back first if I were to get another new one. Three days later I got the box sent by Lenovo, and I return it back in terms of what the paper shown.
Unfortunately the problems of the laptop still exist when I turn on my laptop after it repaired. What's wrong with my laptop, this is new one, I think IBM should provide high quality products.
I don't know how to describe the weird sound , it sounds like two or more micphone opened clost to each other. It is very harsh.
I want to get one new laptop from Lenovo because of the quality of product and customer service or can I return the laptop?
I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

Like Obama says... yes you can
I did it last week because I bought an iPhone 4 as a wedding gift but then I changed my mind and wanted an iPad, so the bride could use it together with the groom (while the phone is personal).
I returned the iPhone to the apple store and I paid the difference to buy the 32GB iPad, no problems
I didn't opened the case, but the guy at the apple store told me I could have returned the phone even if it was opened. It must be undamaged tough.

Lenovo AIO C440 - not working infrared remote control

Hello,
is there any hint how to get infrared remote control working for a new C440 model? Tomorrow I will try to measure and/or replace batteries which could be bad. For now it is totally not working.
Another question: the remote should work only within AverMedia TV app or in the whole Windows 8?
Regards,
Zdenek

hi bohdik,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
The IR Windows Media Center remote control is for use with C440 models with optional TV tuner. If you have this model, make sure the TV Tuner driver and the ITE CIR Driver from the lenovo support site are installed under Device Manager (press Windows Key+R then type devmgmt.msc) then follow the Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center. guide.
Note:
You must have Windows 8 PRO to enable Windows Media Center
See this articles in reference:
How to add Windows Media Center to Windows 8 Pro

Memory upgrade on Lenovo 3000 j100 (product number: 8254-E6G)

First of all, sorry for my English (I'm trying to improve it)
I run a Lenovo 3000 j100 Desktop with 1GB RAM with two modules of 512MB each one installed on the two slots that the mother board has.
I want to upgrade that memory to 4GB, but I have some doubts about that upgrade that I need to solve before buying the new memory additions.
I've read some commentaries about this topic and there are people who say that the maximum memory size for this models of Lenovo is 2GB RAM, I mean one module of 1GB on each slot.
However, the manual says that these desktops can be upgraded to 4GB RAM.
In consecuence, which is the maximum memory size supported by my Desktop's mother board ?
Sorry for my English again, I hope someone could help me because I wrote this question to Lenovo support and this service answered that I had to read the manual, they didn't solve my question.
Thank you for your attention.

Many thanks for your answer, but the type of memory of my computer is not the same as yours.
My Lenovo 3000 j100 memory sticks are not DDR2, they are DDR.
They have a sticker with this text on:
NT512D64S88B0GY-5T
512MB DDR-400MHz-CL3
PC3200U-30331

Memory problem on a Lenovo 3000 0769-BAG

Hi !
I own this nice machine, and put into it a Linux 64 bits OS. (Fedora 7).
Everything is working fine, but I needed more memory to be able to scan/process large images.
So I went to Lenovo web site and saw I needed PC2-5300 Sodimm memory. For a maximum of 4GB.
I've bought 2 Sodimm labelled like that : 2GB DDR2-667Mhz-CL5 based upon 16 chips labelled PR128MB-3 "Made in Taiwan" ...
So I removed the 2 512MB modules and put the 2 2GB modules. The BIOS see them and count up to 4096 GB. Fine.
But after POST, Nothing happens. No beep no disk activity, no nothing. The message "Press F1 to enter BIOS or F12 for boot menu " disapears, the cursor goes on the upper left corner and that's it.
So I removed the first 2GB module and put an original 512 MB instead. The machine boots fine, I'm able to successfully test the RAM either with the Vista boot menu option or the Memtest which came with Fedora.
I've swapped the 2 GB module and done the very same test. OK. So I'm pretty confident on the operation of the 2 2GB modules. Vista and Fedora proudly announce near 2.5 GB of memory (depending of the shared memory assigned to the Intel Graphic card)
If I put the 2 GB module on the first slot, and the 512 MB atop, the machine refuses to boot.
So, Either there is a problem with my memory modules, or there is a problem accessing the maximal capacity using 2GB modules ? What do you think and what should I do ?
TIA !
Oh, BTW the BIOS is 68ET21WW (V1.05)

Very curious indeed!
You mention you have BIOS V1.05, the latest on Lenovo is V1.02 but with the same number 68ET21WW that you have. Typo?
Are there any memory settings in BIOS that you can play with?
Put in a 512/2GB combo, go to this webpage from Crucial, scroll down and have it scan your system.
Repeat with the other 2GB. What are the results?, are those 2GB sticks what they are supposed to be?
As you run Linux, I am at a dead end here, no knowledge.
I assume you have installed (not just downloaded) all the Lenovo updates for Windows?
A 32-bit OS can only address 3GB, so 4GB would be a waste.
A 64-bit OS (both Linux and XP or Vista) should be able to work with 4GB.
Can you borrow a 1GB stick and see if it works with 3GB?
EDIT:
After hunting around on the web, it seems that there is a RAM limit for the Lenovo 3000 N100.
Also, Lenovo says this on their website:
1 GB (footnote 4) (2-512 MB DIMMS) PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz memory, expandable with optional SDRAM SO DIMM module to a maximum 2.0 GB (footnote 5)
Support Center: 800-426-7378
4: For PCs without a separate video card, memory supports both system and video. Accessible system memory is up to 128 MB less than the amount stated, depending on video mode.
5: Memory options up to 1024 MB PC5300 DDR2 SDRAM SO DIMM can be added for maximum memory expansion.I picked up somewhere that some BIOSes test for an original Lenovo RAM stick, but could not find this reference again.
If you get that 1GB + 2GB working, that will be the max, otherwise hope for a new BIOS that will allow for 4GB.
On Buy.com (sells Kingston RAM), several users reported success with 2x 1GB Kingston RAM.

How do I Find/Set/Change a Bluetooth passkey on a T61 laptop with the Lenovo US/Eng Vista OS image?

I purchased a T61 two years ago. It came with the Lenovo Vista Ultimate OS, US/English. The T61 has Bluetooth, which I never used until now.
I try to pair a cell phone and a PDA (both Palm devices) with the T61, and the devices ask for the T61's Bluetooth Passkey. I don't know what the passkey value is, nor do I see anywhere to set, change or enter it.
This is how I know the the Bluetooth device driver is working on the T61: 1- The BT icon shows in the taskbar, the BT controt panels open, and even in Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Bluetooth Devices, the phone name shows up. And strangely enough, at the bottom of the control panel, when the phone is listed (is discoverable), it shows "Paired: Yes", "Authenticated: No", attached image shows these values.
I'm stumped. Where do I lookup, set or change the T61's Bluetooth passkey?

Unfortunately that is not working. I've tried 0000, 000000, 00000000, 1234, and 123456 as the keys. No popups, no response whatsoever on the T61.
The devices seem to wait some timeout period and then a message "cannot connect to T61...". I don't have the exact message here in front of me, but can get it if need be.

Lenovo Z710 - Major Performance Problems - Expert Advice Needed

Three months ago I bought Lenovo Z710 laptop.
Here are some system properties:
Intel Core i7 4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz,
8GB RAM
Hybrid 1TB + SSHD(8G),
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M / 2 GB,
DVD-R,
Win 8.1
After using the device for 3 months I can't describe with words how dissapointed I am.
It is unbelievably slow. The device with this configuration should do very easily hard things.
However, I have troubles doning even simple things.
For example, currently I am only browsing web and listening music from youtube.
Opening a new web page in Chrome takes 30-40 seconds. Opening a new tab takes aprox. 10 seconds.
Selecting a text and copying it, takes 15 seconds. It is even very frustrating to type even a web address because of the obvious delay in typing. Furthermore, when I listen to music there is also a delay - that makes even listening to music unbelievably frustrating. Just to mention one more time - I only have chrome running!
I have 2 Partitions - C disk (442 GB) and disk D (488 GB).
On disk C I installed Win 8.1. and at the moment on disk C 391 GB are free.
I use disk D is mostly intended for storing images, movies, and music. On this disk 258 GB are free.
Regarding the programs I installed on top of Windows, here is the list: micro Torrent, Adobe Photoshop, Android SDK Tools, Android studio, Avast Internet Security, Brackets, Corona SDK, Dropbox, Foxit Cloud, Foxit Reader, Chrome, Greenshot, MS Office, Mozilla, Skype, Notepad, VLC Player, WinRAR, XAMPP.
When I open Task Manager I see that used CPU resources are aprox. 10%, Memory aprox 35%, Disk 2%, Network 5%.
I am the only user of the device.
In Task manager I read that only Chrome takes the most of the resources taking 130 MB memory.
So why is the device with 4 physical i7 Intel processory and 8 GB SSD so slow, that I can't even type without disturbance with delays?
I don't understand how the device with mentioned hardware can be so slow.
And regarding the software, I don't understand whtat could slow the device - I mentiond what programs were installed and to what extent are resorurces being used.
Please give me your advice on what else can I check and what shoudl I do.

Can you run a system health check once and see if anything is flagged? To do so,
1. Press the + R keys to open the Run dialog, type perfmon, and click/tap on OK.
2. If prompted by UAC, click/tap on Yes.
3. In the left pane of Performance Monitor, click/tap on Data Collector Sets to expand it, click/tap on System to expand it, right click on System Diagnostics, and click on Start. (see screenshot below)
4. It will collect data for 60 seconds before the system diagnostics report will be ready to view instep 3 of OPTION TWO below.
