Chapter 7. Safety, Use and Care Information

 General tips for maintenance

1

Check the capacity of your hard disk drive from time to time. If the
hard disk drive gets too full, Windows

produce errors.

2

Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis.

3

Use the Microsoft Disk Defragmenter on your hard disk drive on a
regular basis to improve data seek and read time.

 To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs.

Note:



You might also want to look for application program duplication or
overlapping versions.

 Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client

program.

 At least once a week, make a point to back up your data. If critical data is

present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup. Lenovo has many
backup options available for your computer. CD-RW drives or CD-RW/
DVD drives are available for most computers and are easily installed.

 Use or schedule System Restore to take a system snapshot periodically.

Chapter 7. Safety, Use and Care Information

Note:



Always take a system snapshot before installing new drivers, updating
software, or installing new software.

 Update device drivers and BIOS when needed.
 Profile your machine at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com

to date with current drivers and revisions.

 Keep up to date on device drivers on other non-Lenovo hardware. You

might want to read the device driver information release notes prior to
updating for compatibility or known issues.

 Keep a log book. Entries might include major hardware or software

changes, driver updates, minor issues you have experienced and how
you resolved them.

 If you ever need to run a recovery operation on your computer to return

the contents of the hard disk to the factory-installed state, the following
tips might help along the way:

 Remove all external devices such as the printer, keyboard, and so

on.

 Make sure that the battery is charged and that you have the AC

adapter connected.

 Boot into the BIOS and load the default settings.
 Turn off the computer and start the recovery process.
 If your computer uses discs as the recovery media, do not remove

the disc from the drive until you are prompted to do so.

Chapter 7. Safety, Use and Care Information

 If required, you can find your country’s Customer Support Center at the

following Web address: http://consumersupport.lenovo.com
When calling the Customer Support Center, please make sure you have
your machine type, model, and serial number available and the
computer is in front of you. Also, if the machine is producing error
codes, it is helpful to have the error screen on or the message written
down.

Device drivers are programs that contain instructions for the operating
system about how to operate or “drive” a certain piece of hardware. Each
hardware component on your computer has its own specific driver. If you
add a new component, the operating system needs to be instructed on
how to operate that piece of hardware. After you install the driver, the
operating system can recognize the hardware component and understand
how to use it.

Note:



Due to the fact that drivers are programs, like any other file on your
computer, they are susceptible to corruption and might not perform
properly if corruption occurs.

Appendix A. Lenovo Limited Warranty

 How to obtain warranty service

If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period,
you may obtain warranty service by contacting Lenovo or an approved
service provider. Each of them is referred to as a “Service Provider.” A list
of Service Providers and their telephone numbers is available at
www.lenovo.com/support/phone

Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from
location to location. Charges may apply outside a Service Provider’s
normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for location-specific
information.

.

 What your service provider will do to correct problems

When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem
determination and resolution procedures specified.

Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem
over the telephone, e-mail or through remote assistance. Your Service
Provider may direct you to download and install designated software
updates.

Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you can install
yourself called a “Customer Replaceable Unit” or “CRU.” If so, your
Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.

If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through
your application of software updates or the installation of a CRU by you,

93

Y550P UG V1.0_en.book Page 94 Monday, July 13, 2009 11:36 AM

Appendix A. Lenovo Limited Warranty

your Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty
service designated for the product under the section titled “Warranty

Information.”

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product,
your Service Provider will replace it with one that is at least functionally
equivalent.

If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or
replace your product, your sole remedy is to return the product to your
place of purchase or to Lenovo for a refund of your purchase price.

 Replacement of a product or part

When the warranty service involves the replacement of a product or part,
the replaced product or part becomes Lenovo’s property and the
replacement product or part becomes your property. Only unaltered
Lenovo products and parts are eligible for replacement. The replacement
product or part provided by Lenovo may not be new, but it will be in good
working order and at least functionally equivalent to the original product
or part. The replacement product or part shall be warranted for the balance
of the period remaining on the original product.

Before your Service Provider replaces a product or part, you agree to:

1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not
under warranty service;

2. ensure that the product or part is free of any legal obligations or
restrictions that prevent its replacement; and

94

Y550P UG V1.0_en.book Page 95 Monday, July 13, 2009 11:36 AM

Appendix A. Lenovo Limited Warranty

3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider

service a product or part if you do not own it.

 Your additional responsibilities

Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:

1. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider

specifies;

2. backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;

3. provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and

sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to perform service; and

4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals

(“Personal Data”) is deleted from the product or that, with respect to
any Personal Data that you did not delete, you are in compliance with
all applicable laws.

 Use of personal information

If you obtain service under this warranty, Lenovo will store, use and
process information about your warranty service and your contact
information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail address.
Lenovo will use this information to perform service under this warranty
and to improve our business relationship with you. We may contact you to
inquire about your satisfaction regarding our warranty service or to notify
you about any product recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these
purposes, we may transfer your information to any country where we do
business and may provide it to entities acting on our behalf. We may also
disclose it where required by law.

 Limitation of liability

Lenovo is responsible for loss or damage to your product only while it is:

1) in your Service Provider’s possession; or 2) in transit in those cases
where the Service Provider is responsible for the transportation.

Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider is responsible for any of your
data including confidential, proprietary, or personal data contained in a
product. You should remove and/or backup all such information from the
product prior to its service or return.

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovo’s part or
other liability, you may be entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each
such instance, regardless of the basis of your claim against Lenovo
(including breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort
claim), except and to the extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by
applicable laws, Lenovo shall not be liable for more than the amount of
actual direct damages suffered by you, up to the amount you paid for the
product. This limit does not apply to damages for bodily injury (including
death) and damage to real property or tangible personal property for which
Lenovo is liable under law.
