Thinkpad T520 broken screen - warranty ??

Hi !
I have ThinkPad T520 and there is still 91 days of warranty. I accidently hit the rear side of screen on a hard object while moving my laptop and the whole screen got crazy. It looks like that whole matrix is broken, nothing is visible, it's blinking with strange colours and it has wide line dividing the screen which is easy to see when moving a finger on it. However it is not physically damaged from outside, just some stuff inside got broken. The hit wasn't hard and I am very surprised that whole screen is now damaged! There is also a darker spot in lower part of the screen which is quite hot. I hope it is not going to explode, will it ??
Because the hit wasn't hard and from my point of view it is damaged because this part has poor quality, I would like to benefit my warranty. Do you think that I have chances that they will repair it for free ? There are few computer services in Poland that repair Lenovo computer on warranty, however I wonder if it matters which one I choose or are there strict rules that Lenovo provides to consider such cases. I heard that physical damage is not considered as a case under warranty, but as I said IMHO this is NOT a physical damage, because the hit was not strong and there is no mark of it on rear side. Laptops are suppoused to be movable, not static !

The only way to know for sure how they'll handle the issue, is to call Service and ask. My presumption would be, though, that if you do not have an Accidental Damage Protection warranty, then the repair would not be covered. I don't speak for Lenovo, though, so it's only my presumption based on other accounts I've read here and elsewhere.
Regards.

  • IPhone broken screen warranty help

    If I purchase a sealed iPhone with a broken screen, caused by shipping, on ebay still covered by one year warranty...could I have apple fix it or send me a new one?

    This is a user to user help forum only so on one here can answer what Apple will do in this situation definitively but IMO, I think it is doubtful that Apple will cover this under warranty since they did not ship the iPhone to you.
    Since this eBay seller is reporting this iPhone has a cracked screen but the plastic wrapping has not been removed and is probably selling it for less than you can purchase one from Apple or AT&T which is why you are so interested, but you are risking having Apple cover this under warranty which I would not do but if you want to gamble with this, go for it but have the this eBay seller promise in writing to reimburse you if Apple does not cover this under warranty after you return it to the seller.

  • What is the cost of replacing iphone 5(broken screen, out of warranty) with a higher model maybe 5s? In India.

    Hi,
    Yesterday i dropped my phone and the screen got shattered. The phone is working fine. but the screen is cracked.
    After searching through the internet, i found out the following options:
    Getting Out-of-warranty Replacement.
    Getting the screen repaired by Apple Store.
    I am located in India and had  bought the phone from India only.
    So my questions are?
    What is the cost of getting an out-of warranty replacement for iPhone 5?
    Can i get a replacement for a higher model of iPhone( maybe 5s or upcoming iPhone 6). If yes, how much extra i'll have to pay?
    Is it possible to repair the broken screen in India? if yes, what will be the tentative cost?
    Thanks.

    The price of getting the screen replaced in the US on the 5 is $150, and it is only available on the US as of now.
    iPhone 5 screen replacement at an non-official Apple retailer is $75-90
    Should the OP decide to go that route, he will be forfeiting future support from Apple, both in and out of warranty
    A new/refurb 16GB iPhone 5 from Apple is ~$400
    A used 16GB iPhone 5 on Craigslist or Swappa is ~$275-350
    Apple no longer sells the iPhone 5. They keep a number of units on hand for out of warranty service, which is $269 in the US.
    Buying from Craiglist (or on-line) is usually risky as the phones turn out to be not what they are advertised as.

  • My iphone 5 power button doesn't always work.  I have heard this is an issue and Apple will replace it if under warranty, but I have a broken screen.  Will they still replace it?

    It is unlikely but you can atleast try they might set it up for free but expect an email about paying 269 for physical damage

  • T520 flickering screen and shutdown

    Hi.
    I had this problem a couple of times before. On some random occasion the screen starts flickering and the laptop restarts/shutdowns after a couple of seconds. 
    The whole thing looks something like this:
    Could this be software related? I have installed the latest drivers from lenovo using system update. The laptop isn't under heavy usage (usually happens when browsing internet) or something.
    Should I consider taking it to the warranty service? How long will it take to fix the problem because I need my laptop ASAP.
    ThinkPad T520 i5-2410M(2.3GHz), 4GB RAM, 500GB 7200rpm HD, 15.6in 1600x900 LCD, NVIDIA NVS 4200M 1GB

    hey GiedriusZ
    hard to say if it is software related, try uninstalling the current graphic driver for your unit and let windows install its generic driver and try again.
    if it still occurs get in contact with the service team to service your unit. how long will it take ? hard for me to say, give them a call and they'll be able to give you a rough ETA.

  • Broken Screen... HELP!      DVI/S-Video

    Hello Apple Friends,
    I recently bought a 2nd hand Titanium G4 Powerbook off a guy I know. I had used it before, and knew it to be a good machine. Unfortunately, the warranty has run out, but then the hinges went. I knew they were about to go and just wanted to use it as a desktop. Unfortunately, I moved house and the screen must have been knocked, and now I can not get a picture. I can tell the computer is still working fine, but the screen isn't.
    I've been told its a DVI model and I can plug it into an external screen either using a DVI cable or an S-video cable. Although I understand that monitors take VGA cables. Does anyone have any experience or advice concerning this?
    All help welcome.
    Tom

    You can obtain displays that use different types of interfaces. Many of the displays distributed by Wintel manufacturers, certainly most cheaper ones, still use VGA, but there are many who are also embracing DVI. Apple, for example, has been using DVI technology for several years; all of the currently shipping Cinema displays are DVI. A 20-inch Cinema display is a great companion to a 15-inch PowerBook (even if it has a broken screen).
    Having said that, if you have broken hinges, and the computer was subject to some sort of trauma with that display floating around and not latched, you could have jerked loose the display connectors. If that is what happened, reseating the connectors could possibly fix the video on the internal display.
    I'd take the machine to a local Apple service provider or Apple Store. They can verify whether that is the case, and they could also verify that your computer will work with a DVI display (that there is not a bigger video issue of some sort) - I'm sure they'd be more than happy to sell you one, too.

  • What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

    What is the most cost effective way to have a broken screen repaired?

    One thing to bear in mind, if your iPad is still under any sort of warranty, using any unauthorized repair place may void that.
    So you may find less expensive places that are non-authorized, but once you use them, Apple disowns your device and if you have any warranty left, it'll be void.

    If the device has not been opened by anyone (other than Apple) then it can be replaced via the Out of Warranty replacement program, $269US for the 5, 5C, and 5S?
    If it has been opened by anyone other than Apple, purchase a new device.

  • How much apple charge for broken screen iPhone 5

    How much charge iPhone 5 broken screen replace

    Apple reportedly now will replace the screen in an iPhone 5 for US $149. Availabllity of repair services may vary by country, and I'm not sure if other models of iPhone also can be repaired, so call Apple Support or visit an Apple Store and ask for information. For other problems Apple at this time does not at this time repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee. If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
    There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do the repair for less than Apple's out-of-warranty charge. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further warranty and support from Apple will be voided.

  • How do I get my broken screen fixed? I've only had it six months. No applecare

    How do I get my broken screen fixed? I've only had it six months. No applecare

    I'm assuming that the screen being broken means that it's cracked because you dropped it or something else along those lines happened. Accidental damage is not covered by the warranty, so you will have to pay the out of warranty cost to get your phone fixed or replaced.

    I have a 2 week old  ipod touch 4 with a broken screen. Can anyone tell me if it is covered buy warranty (unlikely l know) and if not what are the costs involved in getting it fixed and are the do - it - yourself kits any good.

    It's not covered by the warranty. Here are the costs for the repair by Apple: Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    But you can also search the Internet for 3rd party repair, but you'll have no warranty after that by Apple anymore.
