> i thought about having it serviced. > of course i don't have any papers for that "under warranty" stuff. Yea, I was somewhat surprized when I called IBM for service and they said I would have to fax them a copy of the invoice proving ownership before they'd return the computer - wasn't required to get it fixed, just to get it back. Or of course one has the option of paying for the work instead.. although there's no way the three year warranty could even be close to gone. So, I explained the Thinkpad came from them, it was coming from and going back to the same place as on the original invoice and digging up the paper copy from months ago, not to mention then having to go run it through a fax machine, seemed like a real pain compared to having IBM check its own records, which they must be doing anyway as they would hopefully be verifying the faxed in data. The guy went away to ask someone if this was ok, and it was. The point being I'd try asking IBM first - the worst that can happen is they say no. They can also look up authorized dealers in your area. Billy Y..
