I've owned by T60p for almost 2 years now. Instead of buying a new machine, I've been upgrading the computer in pieces. First the RAM, then the HDD, then the processor, then I replaced the wireless card.
So right now my RAM, HDD, CPU, and wireless cards (which involved replacing the WAN with a 3rd antenna for N-wireless) are all non-default configuration components. Can I still send in the computer for repair on the other parts, like the motherboard or display, 'cause I was told that my motherboard was defective (got a call from Lenovo about it) and now display is messing up.

Yes, though I would pull the HDD and Ram before sending it in.

Wireless card? Maybe, maybe not - someone else will have to answer that.
CPU? Not without putting the original back first. -
I'm not looking for warranty on the parts I upgraded. I just want to know if I will still get warranty on the remaining parts.

I typically remove everything but MiniPCI cards when sending in for repair. HDD, UltraBay device, RAM, PCMCIA/ExpressCards, Battery, and just send in the shell. In effect, they have no way of knowing what you have upgraded, you are just returning the components they provided. You are gambling that they can reproduce the problem with components they install, so just be sure it's not something that you changed that is at fault. Upgrading components will NOT void your warranty.
