dropped thinkpad t550

Hello,

Looking for some info about possible damage to laptop from dropping.

Sadly, i recently dropped my thinkpad T550, it fell on its corner at the right screen hinge.

Case cracked around the hinge, making the base open-up for about half an inch, fan visible hanging loose.

Screen is slightly bend between the hinges , slightly twisted on the diagonal length and bezels has popped open around half of the screen (screen could not be opend -up anymore but not cracked).

Battery could not be put back in (outer case bend).

Laptop was planned to be picked up by Lenovo for inspection-repair.

Vendor checked it out and said not neccesary, they assembled it and got it flat again, only optical damage.

I have an full-omnium insurance with that specific vendor, and optical damage is suddenly not covered anymore.

Should i be worried about possible unvisible damage causing problems later on, haven't seen the inside of the laptop.

Quite worried as the laptop looked bad when i handed it over.

 

I don't think anyone here has a crystal ball. I think you should make the best of what you've got, particularly since it's now working? It's already three years old. In a couple years you're going to want something new anyways.

 

Laptop is 2y old and has full omnium coverage

 

Then get it fixed.

 

Wow, way to go dude. The guy is clearly sad about his notebook being dropped and damaged and is here for some insights on how things might go. There's no need to be rude. You're a super moderator ??

 

Yeah. Been one since 2004. I only meant if they've got full coverage, which to me means they've got an accidental warranty, so they should get it fixed, though the first post is somewhat opaque. Do you usually presume the worst in people? I'm assuming at some point in life, this will get you into trouble.
