t410s vertical band in my LCD
Posted: Tue Oct 12, 2010 3:57 am
I have had my t410s for a couple of months, yesterday a vertical band appeared in my display. A quick search online brought up this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM9_ZM_8qkQ
which is exactly what I see.
I am about to lose my t410s for a couple of weeks (or so I am told by the Lenovo support rep), is this a problem that Lenovo is able to reliably fix? (namely it is clearly endemic to the t410s as I have seen many posts on the matter, my concern is that their fix is just temporary until it happens again)
Do others who see this problem find that the repair sticks?
btw, I have to say that the Lenovo return mechanism which required me to talk to someone I could barely understand did not help. I used to love the Thinkpad line for its robust design (and had many), the T410s, which was not inexpensive, felt flimsy in comparison and having the screen die in such a short time is disconcerting (and seeing how many people are dealing with the same thing is a further concern).
