T4x warranty issues

#1 Post by ddutta » Mon Nov 28, 2005 4:58 pm

I had some problem with my battery and IBM sent me a refurbed battery to replace the old battery.

Questions:

* Is it normal to get refurbed parts?

* They had asked me to return teh part within 30days or get charged. I noticed it yesterday and its been more than 30 days and I cant find any DHL sticker (apparently there should have been one). I havent got any letters saying I have been charged. Does anyone have experience with this?

I have requested service before. And they sent me one DHL box to return my laptop. I found the return mail tab in the box. You just only need peel down the label they used. Then you will see the return label for you. After 30 days I haven't sent my laptop. It would be ok. And I cancled the request.

In my case, they sent me the replacement product but I havent sent them the faulty product. And I cant seem to find the label.

So you had better call them. They should send you one box to return your battery.

Sometimes the box they send can have a peel off label, that reveals a return label under it. I'd check for that.

There should be a return label in the box. BTW I think they should not send a refurbished battery to you, since your machine is brand new. You can call them.

IIRC anything from support (after 30 days) can be used or refurbished.

Part of the EZServ deal.
