    ...in my LCD. It's too long to be one of mine, and other than that I love my new x201. I did not get on-site warranty service, but I really don't want to have to wait two weeks to have the screen replaced by mailing it in.

    Can I upgrade my warranty now after receiving my new notebook to have on-site service and have someone out here quicker? I'm assuming that a ill-sealed LCD should be covered under my service agreement?

    Thanks!

    -Brian

    Yes, you can upgrade your warranty. Call lenovo regardless to see what it will do.

    the upgrade will take at least 2 weeks to come through, so if you can wait for that long, then sure why not.

    Is it a goat hair?

    Sorry, couldn't resist. On a serious note a hair would be quite annoying. Good luck.

    From what I know the NBR reviewer is bug is not from the factory.

    It's an aftermarket IPS panel.

    There was a dog hair in my T61 screen. But it was from my dog (yellow lab). I managed to shake the laptop to make the hair fall to the side of the screen so it couldn't be seen.

    Ressom, I'll give that a try, but it seems pretty well lodged in there so I'm not positive that it'll want to move. More later...
