T510: Service shipped the wrong parts??! Where can I complain?

I own a t510 that is under warranty, 3 weeks ago it was determined both by the lenovo in person tech and the over the phone tech:
-The wrong system board was ordered by the lenovo tech when the initial problem occurred
- The wrong system board was installed by them.
- The Nvidia graphics card is currently missing, noone is sure why.
- The palm rest does not click in properly
- The touch pad does not work.
- The hard drive came but there is no Windows 7 Pro Recovery CDs so could not install that.
- No BIOS or OS
After getting off of the phone with the phone tech, and the in person tech everyone was very frustrated. Most said they "wish they could do something more" but their "hands were tied." Which leaves me in a horrible position. I had a working computer (with a few glitches ) and now I have a complete brick. I am absolutely livid about how that week has gone especially in terms of Lenovomaking things right. It is sad that a company as esteemed as IBM has now turned into this. I believe we will slowly shift my entire company's fleet away from Lenovo, and further more will use this as a flagship example to our clients and frends who are large buyers in the healthcare and auto sectors.
The techs said they are going to try to order some parts and I can install them when they come, I cancelled 3 flights and 3 days of meetings now as a result of these issues.  And ended up having to buy a new computer and leave town the next day when the parts didn't show up on time. Also if history is any indication I expect some part to come and that may or may not solve my issues, and may or may not have ever even supposed to be a part of this computer.
When I bought this computer I bought it with specific parts for specific reasons. The solutiions lenovo has given me have left me with a frankenstein machine that doesn't function. This is all for a machine less than 11 months old.
To make matters worse I have so far been 0 for 4 in customer service reps calling me back, and 1 for 3 in getting someone to return an email. I was also told over the phone in not so many words that Lenovo would just wait until my warranty runs out so that they no longer have to worry about it. 
 This laptop is my business, it is the heart & soul of what I need to make a livelihood everyday. For 3 weeks+ now I haven't had a email, phone call or any form of contact from anyone at Lenovo. I have not been offered a replacement laptop or some sort of remuneration. But what I do have, due to the actions of Lenovo techs and Lenovo phone tech support service and due to no fault of my own (The computer has been unfunctional since techs showed up) is a brick.   
I hoped Lenovo  would understand my frustrations and might do the right thing to make things right, but I have lost that hope slowly over the last 3 weeks.
Has anyone dealt with issues like this? Does anyone know how to navigate the poor lenovo customer service system? anybody heard of other companies which treat customers this poorly? Is there anything else I can do? Are lemons common with lenovo?
Moderator Note: Edited subject to match content.

I have officially called into technical support 5+ times, with a total hold/call time of 12 hours and 32 minutes. Noone in the "right" department has called me back and the one personwho gave me a direct number has been unreachable because the number doesn't work.
Unsure how to proceed.

    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

    I DO remember them but Apple chose to put them in Japanese and I can not change the language on Manage my Apple ID so I do not know if I made an error ,it threw me off , it was the wrong question Where did you fly to on your first Aiplane trip ? then I was unable to enter until 8 hours then called Apple Japan 4 times each time threy asked me would you like to speak with an English speaker,I said yes then they told me sorry today is Sunday no English speakers ,but they refused to speak Japanese, then I called 5th time and a kind guy could speak English we were on 1and 1/2 hours he got me to log in but the reset key chain could not be completed still pending.
    He said do not mess with that ! then I got a text from somewhere to reset 4 pins suddenly it was very strange I said to him that I got this pin this morning but it said you can use maximum 3 hours it had a UK number and I told him I do not like this and will not enter the code he said do not do it if it is from the UK and then I said to him ok you did a lot to help but we can not go any further ! and we cut of I went back to my computer to re do the ID but I found everything a mess so I call and a stupid sounding Japanese women with a squeaky voice came on I was calm at first and they want your phone number your IMEI number your iPhone serial number date of birth Address email address it takes 10 munutes to check then they ask what are you caling about so I try to explain my keychain is broken or problems with language security questions and can not change my pasword because the security question have failed me so it is ONE BIG HEADACHE AND I START I GET STRESSED she says Do want an ENGLISH speaker ,I say yes ,that guy i talked to earlier but I never got his name and first time I ever talked to him but they said he is not here so I said ok and then she said today is sunday so call back in the morning ,I said ,well ok in Japanese but they make you feel stupid because they do not want to speak Jap@anese with none natives and they are to busy,And they feel that I should not bother them ,then I say that Apple Japan is trying to refuse Apple foreign customers and then she wants to hang up and ask me to visit the shop ,but they are the same I have a very bad time with Apple Japan since they do not discuss software problems or security with customer meaning if you have a problem they ask you to come on a time 20 minutes max so they do hardware test and say you phone is fine then I say no I can not reset my ID they say you must call call centre so I am going around in circles ,When I call English it is usually Australia so if my problem is in Japan surely if do not want me to talk to them in Japanese and they ask me to call Australia but every time my call charge is expensive after asking them is this free because I have Apple care they say yes but when the call goes to Australia 0120 277 535 it might change to paid call so I call then I have to ask is this charging they say we can not give you that information ! so what can I do I have have been at the computer and phone all day on my day off work and in tre week I am so busy and can not use my phone I can not work without it ,this new technology for you ,they can not cope with the fact that the customer have problems yet they do not want to deal with us because they can not solve it and so it shows them to be useless they like to walk around in their cool tee shirts and retro shop but when it comes to functionality we are unwelcome they got the money so do not return because apple is perfect that nothing should go wrong .
    But it does somehow my English security answers do not work on a Japanese Question especialy if I did not choose that question I set  up the multiple choice In English and wrote the answers in English or Roman and set them langauge preferences in English, do you really think you can correctly write english name or word in Japanese they write a police patrol car  pato caa パトカア they do not have r and l .So it is my choice to make my security easy for me and as difficult for others to hack.But they also have patororoo choo meaning ' now patrolling ' so why they have pato caa patrol car and patoro patrol and have thousands of Chinese words kanji they can find patrol.
    I am getting off the topic but I am at a loss to fix this problem when they hold the keys and i have all the info to verify my ID.

  • Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?

    Hello,
    I'm Chintan from India. I have visited UK for study and brought iPhone 5 for me. I used it for about 16 days and now its started showing the problem of coverage. I mean, it shows "NO SERVICE" at the place of carrier name and tower symbol.
    My query:
    Do Apple have this kind of worthless service provider policy?
    I have visited the local authorized service center and they are not accepting my iPhone 5 and telling me that they can not accept it for repair or service because I have brought it from UK. I have checked my iPhone 5 status on the Apple Site and it is showing full cover of Repair and Service, then why the local Apple Authorized Service Center is not accepting my iPhone 5?
    Is there any kind of Apple Company policy that Apple's iPhone can only be repair or service at the place from where the iPhone have bought?
    Kindly help me out as I'm stuck with the so called APPLE IPHONE 5.
    Looking for the POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE and HELPFUL reply.
    Thank You

    You should have read the warranty/support terms before you made your purchase. Had you, you would have found that iPhone warranty/support is only valid in the country of original purchase(except for the EU where warranty/support is EU wide). In your case, your warranty/support is only valid in the EU, as you have now found out...after your purchase. And, you are correct, they will not service the phone in India.
    Always been this way with the iPhone.

  • Apparently it is impossible for Lenovo to ship the right part..

    Little backstory..
    I have a new W530 and got the 3 years warranty with accidental damage protection and all that jazz.. I however got a problem with the keyboard:
    From F9 to Delete, and F5 to Esc on my backlight keyboard, I get no light at all. More annoyingly, the X key has a weird resistance going on and sometimes stays down instead of coming back up after a keypress. Needless to say I called and asked for a replacement keyboard. 
    Somehow Lenovo is completely unable to ship the right part. They keep sending FRU 04W3025, which is the Chicony US NON-Backlit keyboard, whereas I have the 04W3063 (Chicony US Backlit)  on my laptop, and specifically ask for my BACKLIT keyboard to be replaced. After the 2nd error I thought it was bad luck, but I'm at 4 now and its downright ridiculous..
    Everytime, they say they will put a note on the order to make sure the part is right, that it might take a couple days cause of a backorder, etc etc, yet I always received a new, but wrong keyboard the next day.. Sigh..
    Is there anyway to get the right model?? I'm about to ask them to send in a technician just to send him back because he's probably gonna show up with the wrong part # too if the pattern follows.... and give him all the wrong keyboard models because while I could understand paying to send one wrong item back, I don't feel like I should be the one paying to send them a crate of wrong items back since it is not my mistake.
    I can't understand what the complexity is... 04W3025 != 04W3063.. I could understand if it was the same model from a different brand, like Chicony, Alps, NMB, Lite-On, SRX etc etc. But this is not the same part.. One is backlit, one is not.

  • I have replaced my faulty hard drive on my macbook air 1.1 and need to reinstall the original software where can in find this on the apple web site?

    I have replaced my faulty hard drive on my macbook air 1.1 with a new ssd, I need to reinstall the original software,where can I find this on the apple site?

    There is no download for the software.  The factory software that you are looking for is called ilife.  It is all of the software that would have came preinstalled with your mac on your original hard drive when you first bought it.  You will have to get new software on your computer.  This might actually be a great opurtunity to upgrade to Lions.  Search the Lions software in the mac store and it will come up.  Click add to cart and check out.  The price for it is $20.  I defientely recomend Lions, it has alot of new great features.  Then wate for the install disk to come in the mail.  when it come just pop it in and follow the step by step instructions.  If you dont want to upgrade to lions however you can download the ilife package from apple.com for a small price.  Hope this helps.

    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l. I think this is the link. However, you will need to use the new S/N if you need to do the activation. The Activation server for AA 7 was taken down. I am not sure this link is complete, but it might give you some idea. However, on WIn7 and newer, AA7 has problems and will only work with some workarounds, and then kind of clunky.

    you don't use a serial number with your cc subscription.  you use your adobe id.

    My iPhone is disabled because my kids renter the wrong passcode, what can I do?

    If the iPhone is showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect the phone to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the phone and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the phone into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
