Question about warranty

[pat]

when i first bought my thinkpad, i only got 1 year of warranty. it ends next year, but after calling tech support last night i defintely want to upgrade to 3 years...

do you think i can buy an extra plan if i call ibm?

Of course you can!!!
I would do it sometime before the year is up (but you can still purchase the warranty after your year is up).
Here is a list of warranty upgrades (for the US):

You can check your warranty status here (click on Warranty Status and it will read your system and give you the info):

Humpa - thanks for that. On the warranty upgrades page you posted it does not show the T42. The T42 I have comes with a 3 year warranty and I'm thinking about extending it - do you know if this is possible, or who I would contact to find out if the 3 yrs is extendable? Thanks.

even thogh the T42 is not listed, it has the same upgrade options as the T41..... you can upgrade your warrenty to on-site, and/or upgrade it tto 4 or 5 years max.
