I recently bought lenovo thinkpad W550s laptop from US, currently i am situated in bangalore, India. After 1 day usage the display went off, i took it the lenovo service centre in bangalore, india. They kept the laptop with them for 1 day and said it is a mother board problem. They said that they have ordered for new mother board part and will replace it and would give intimate me once it is done. After 2 days when i called them they are saying that the mother board components are not available in india and they cant replace it. When i asked them how they ordered for new parts when it is not available in India, they are giving answers in defence mode, and trying to avoid me. I have two concerns here.
1) After making lot of research and investing lot of money i bought the laptop becuse it has Internationational waranty. Still it ran into H/W issues with in 2 days of my usage.
2) It has base warranty and ADP warranty for 3 years (IWS), but if i dont even get service it is truly disappointing and i am in dilemma on how to deal with this situation. Why cant lenovo india import laptop parts when i myself imported laptop from US?
Someone please guide me on how to resolve these issues?

As for how to get it fixed in India, I have no idea, but you might want to post over on the Lenovo Forums where someone might have a better idea. Good Luck. -
The laptop is not available in India at all, so there is no such things as taking advantage of pricing. I bought it because of the brand, good reviews and IWS.

I feel your pain, but from Lenovo's perspective, it doesn't make sense to stock parts for a machine that's not sold there. Again, IWS was never intended for notebooks to be permanently transplanted to areas where it was not sold.
I really think you should post this over on the Lenovo forums and see what they've got to say. Best of luck.
