How to Obtain Warranty Service 

If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain 
warranty service by contacting Lenovo or a Lenovo approved Service Provider. A list of 
approved Service Providers and their telephone numbers is available at:

• provide 

the 

Service 

Provider with all system keys or passwords

perform service 

•  remove all data, including confidential information, proprietary information and personal 

information, from the product or, if you are unable to remove any such information, 
modify the information to prevent its access by another party or so that it is not personal 
data under applicable law. The Service Provider shall not be responsible for the loss or 
disclosure of any data, including confidential information, proprietary information, or

Service Provider to provide warranty service  

What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems  

When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the specified problem determination 
and resolution procedures. 

The Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem by telephone, e-
mail or remote assistance. The Service Provider may direct you to download and install 
designated software updates. 

Some problems may be resolved with a replacement part that you install yourself called a 
“Customer Replaceable Unit” or “CRU.”  If so, the Service Provider will ship the CRU to you 
for you to install.   

If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone; through the application of software 
updates or the installation of a CRU, the Service Provider will arrange for service under the 
type of warranty service designated for the product under “

Part 3 - Warranty Service 

Information

” below. 

If the Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, the Service 
Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. 

If the Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, 
your sole remedy under this Limited Warranty is to return the product to your place of 
purchase or to Lenovo for a refund of your purchase price.

or part becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement product or part becomes your 
property. Only unaltered Lenovo products and parts are eligible for replacement. The

you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your product and are 
available from Lenovo at any time upon request. CRUs that are easily installed by you are

technical skill and tools. Installation of Self-service CRUs is your responsibility. You may 
request that a Service Provider install Optional-service CRUs under one of the other types 
of warranty service designated for your product. An optional service offering may be 
available for purchase from a Service Provider or Lenovo under which Self-service CRUs 
would be installed for you. You may find a list of CRUs and their designation in the 
publication that was shipped with your product or at www.lenovo.com/CRUs. The 
requirement to return a defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the instructions shipped 
with a replacement CRU. When return is required: 1) return instructions, a prepaid return 
shipping label, and a container will be included with the replacement CRU; and 2) you may 
be charged for the replacement CRU if the Service Provider does not receive the defective 
CRU from you within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. 

2. On-site Service 

Under On-Site Service, a Service Provider will either repair or exchange the product at your 
location. You must provide a suitable working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of 
the product. Some repairs may need to be completed at a service center. If so, the Service 
Provider will send the product to the service center at its expense. 

3. Courier or Depot Service 

Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged at a designated 
service center, with shipping at the expense of the Service Provider. You are responsible 
for disconnecting the product and packing it in a shipping container provided to you to 
return your product to a designated service center. A courier will pick up your product and 
deliver it to the designated service center. The service center will return the product to you 
at its expense.

center after you deliver it at your risk and expense. After the product has been repaired or 
exchanged, it will be returned to you at Lenovo's risk and expense, unless the Service 
Provider specifies otherwise. 

6. Customer Two-Way Mail-In Service 

Under Customer Two-Way Mail-In Service, your product will be repaired or exchanged after 
you deliver it to a designated service center at your risk and expense. After the product has 
been repaired or exchanged, it will be made available to you for return shipping at your risk 
and expense. If you fail to arrange return shipment, the Service Provider may dispose of the 
product as it sees fit, with no liability to you. 

7. Product Exchange Service 

Under Product Exchange Service, Lenovo will ship a replacement product to your location.  
You are responsible for its installation and verification of its operation. The replacement 
product becomes your property in exchange for the failed product, which becomes the 
property of Lenovo. You must pack the failed product in the shipping carton in which you 
received the replacement product and return it to Lenovo. Transportation charges, both 
ways, shall be at Lenovo’s expense. If you fail to use the carton in which the replacement 
product was received, you may be responsible for any damage to the failed product 
occurring during shipment. You may be charged for the replacement product if Lenovo does
