Nope. Battery isn't traded in, either... and don't expect any 3 year battery except for the CMOS battery. The eBay batteries for about a fourth the price of the Lenovo ones usually work perfectly well if you do not go to cheaply... we have had superb luck over the past two years with an eBay seller named Battery Monsters... about equal to Lenovo... but the X31 batteries probably sit on the shelf a bit longer.
I would be surprised if you can get that one "... back under warranty..." after five years... unless it had a three or four year warranty originally... the people at Lenovo have been less generous lately on personal versions that were not part of a business purchase. __ The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. A wise man does not need advice and a fool won't take it. On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 8:00 PM, Jonathan Kelly <[email protected]> wrote: > I have an X31 that has been out of warranty for a few years...
