My suspicions were aroused when IBM dropped Lenovo as their Chinese manufacturer 9couple of years ago?), and Lenovo started manufacturing and marketing under their own brand name. IBM generally has a good reason for such actions! In Australia, the law is that the retailer has responsibility for repairs to defective items - and , IMHO, a keyboard should last more than a year or so, so it was defective - 'not up to purpose' is the legal phrase, I think.

Apparently these machines aren't the best there is, but this was for very light home use, my wife does nothing with a home computer beyond a bit of web surfing. She doesn't even have a home email address. Anyway, she told me a month ago that the keyboard was faulty, and several keys didn't work. Apparently, the Lenovo warranty is one year, and the machine was off warranty by manufacture date. Eventually, I was able to get Lenovo to extend the warranty to the retail sales date, so I took it in to the shop where a bad keyboard was diagnosed. The repair depot has now decided that they have no knowledge of the computer coming in to be looked at, and now the warranty has expired. Note to self, do not EVER buy another Lenovo computer. Friends don't let friends buy Lenovo. bill -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
