Upgrade US Warranty to International Warranty
Hello,
I just bought a IBM x61s (7668CTO) and really love it. But it comes with an US only 1 year Warranty. (I think so because when looking warranty information I can see United-States).
Living actually in France I want to know if it is possible to upgrade this warranty to 1 or 3 years International warranty.
If possible how to do it? or which number to contact.
Thanks

Re: Upgrade US Warranty to International Warranty
I e-mailed Lenovo about an IWS warranty on a T61p and got the following response:
We are in receipt of your order regarding International Warranty Service.
The list of countries provided shows where the ThinkPad T61 7662CTO is sold and serviced.
Outside these countries, this particular model may not be sold, or the parts required for service may not be available.
Thus, we can't provide an upgrade to full IWS support at this time, nor will purchasing an extended warranty add any more options.
We apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause you.
If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 1-866-42-THINK (84465) option number 2

Would they make IWS for T61 CTO in the future?

Re: Upgrade US Warranty to International Warranty
The IWS status is governed by the first four digits of the model, i.e., 7662: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/si...testyle=lenovo
The only T61ps sold in the US with IWS that I know of are 6457, 6458 and 6460. You can get a couple of those from Best Buy for Business (http://www.bestbuybusiness.com/), but they tend to be much more expensive than the standard Lenovo models.

Re: Upgrade US Warranty to International Warranty
For those that may be interested, I've found that these are the t61p model numbers having IWS:
- 6457
- 6458
- 6460
- 8889
- 8890
If you are aware of other numbers, please update this list.
