Warranty extension: where to buy in UK?

#1 Post by omfk » Wed Nov 25, 2009 5:39 pm

As the warranty of my T60 is going to expire soon I would like to extend it. Due to the weak pound it might be cheaper for me to buy it in the UK than in Germany. The epacs of interest are:
10N3144
Additional 1 Year On-Site Service Next Business Day Maintenance Extension
41E9876
Upgrade to 4 Year Customer Carry-In Repair
41E9877
Upgrade to 4 Year On-Site Service Next Business Day

What are recommend stores in the UK for it? I searched via google, but most suppliers don't have them in store or their website didn't made a good impression on me.

I take it you're getting a warranty extension from 3 yr to 5 yr. This is a smart move. I just got one for my T61 from Provantage.com (Lenovo part number 45K6025 3yr-5yr mail in depot repair warranty) for $140. They send you an electronic registration number and a link to the Lenovo website and within 24 hours, your warranty is extended! As this is an international warranty, you should be able to do this from the UK.

There's also 41K0422. This one is 3 years onsite repair with accidental damage coverage.
It's a bit more expensive than the ones you have listed, but I have no idea what accidents are covered...

From the lenovo.com website:
"Service is only available for non-refurbished machines released and purchased in the United States."

So that's out of option for me as the machine was bought in Germany.

The machine in question already had a 3 year warranty. I just want to extend it for another year. I don't think that 41K0422 will give me 3 additional years.
