    If I buy a T400 today, do I have until the end of the 1 year standard warranty to purchase a 3 years warranty?

    What is the procedure? I just call Lenovo?

    You can only upgrade the warranty once so you can keep the standard warranty for now and upgrade it before it expires in a year or you can upgrade it when you buy the notebook

    Well you only have 2 options. The factory one or onsite tech. The factory one is when they send you a box and you put your laptop in it and ship it to them and when they are done, they send it back. Onsite tech is having a certified tech coming to you and repairing it onsite. Lenovo covers the cost. I believe if you take it to a third party repair shop, it's going to come out of your own pocket

    Even if it's a "authorized warranty service provider" on the Lenovo website?

    No there are locations that are certified for warranty work. You can search it online on the Lenovo site.

    With regards to your university? Which university you go to? My University doesn't show up but they sell and service Lenovo's.. so the best bet is to call Lenovo / your University's Repair Shop to make sure they are certified to do warranty work. But in my opinion I'm not a fan of those University Repair shops....

    wow.. you post at the same time.


    If it showed up on the Lenovo website and stating that it's an authorized warranty service provider, then yes they can perform warranty work.
