Getting help and service

If possible, be near your computer when you make your call in case the technical assistance representative needs to help you resolve a computer problem.

vMachine Type and Model

vSerial numbers of your computer, monitor, and other components, or your proof of purchase

vDescription of the problem

vExact wording of any error messages

vHardware and software configuration information for your system

Telephone numbers

Before you call, use Access ThinkPad to find information about your computer. Access ThinkPad includes a comprehensive, on-board help and information center for your computer and includes information such as installing additional memory. It travels with you, eliminating the need to carry reference manuals. Press the ThinkPad button to open Access ThinkPad.
