any recommendation for sls shop to change my t61 motherboard?

 

[Tsting]

Thanks, finally managed to figure it out.

Anyway, just to check, on Amazon Payments Order Details, the billing address is my local address. Shipping address is my comgateway's US address. Is that correct?

I want to know about that too!!

Anyone?

Purchasing ThinkPad from US site.

I understand that most depot warranty IS international. Have to check here
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-service/iws.page?

But whatabout the Battery Warranty Extension?
Thinking of getting from the barnes and noble site... 4 years battery warranty extension is only US$111.20

100% sure will need to change battery after 3 years plus.
Just not sure if its honoured here in Singapore as well....

Battery warranty is a bad idea. Read the terms and conditions carefully and you will realise that they will only replace it once during the entire period. More info here - http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Battery-Warranty/td-p/194205

Check thru hardware zone price list, cannot find any msata ssd. Is it selling locally in SLS or challenger?

Loos like this is a common issue ofr T61.

I tried asking around and all I got was a blank stare and a dismissive wave of the hand.

In the end, ordered online from US.

Extended Warranty from US lenovo

I tried Amazon checkout, but only 1 item ...... so cannot fit in the extended warranty together with the purchase.

Tried Amex (lenovo checkout), even called up to add my comgateway address into my profile.

But their website NEED to enter a STATE (drop down selection) + Postcode.
SO in the end rejected.

Any ideas?

Their live chat is off at the moment

that's weird...i thought Amex is specifically allowed even if you are not from US...

Yes, but when you key in your billing address, you need to select a STATE from a drop down list, and a VALID postal code.

Can't leave it blank nor enter 00000.



DAMN IT! I just lost the black friday deal on lenovo website.
FInally got my credit card sorted out. Website was down past 2 hrs.

Up already deal on the W520 removed

For those of you who purchased from the US, what's the preferred mode of shipment to SG? Vpost? Comgateway?

Any idea if Lenovo USA's depot warranty is international? Cant seem to find the clause in their website.

 

[Hummingbird0209]

I have the same issue. I need a motherboard replacement but can't find any good deal...
