Hardware warranty service
In some cases, the computer that you purchased may not function as warranted. If
this happens, during the period of your warranty, the IBM PC HelpCenter will
arrange for warranty service for IBM factory-installed hardware.
Your computer is subject to the terms of the IBM hardware product warranty and
IBM Program License Agreement which are included with your computer. Please
read these terms carefully.
If your computer needs to be serviced, please provide the servicer with the Product
Recovery and Diagnostics disc that came with your computer. This will help the
servicer to complete the required service.
If your computer is having a problem that is not covered by the warrant y, see “How
and when do I purchase additional support?” on page2-9.
Note: To find the machine type, model number, and serial

bottom right corner.
Note:
If your call is not covered by 30-day "Up and
Running" support or the warranty, you will be
required to provide a major credit card number for
support.
