Important safety information
Note
Please read important safety information first.
This information can help you safely use your ThinkPad
®
personal computer.
Follow and retain all information included with your computer. The
information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase
agreement or the Lenovo
Statement of Limited Warranty.
Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and
effective. However, personal computers are electronic devices. Power cords,
power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks that can
result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce
these risks, follow the instructions included with your product, observe all
warnings on the product and in the operating instructions, and review the
information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the
information contained in this document and provided with your product, you
can help protect yourself from hazards and create a safer computer work
environment.
Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In
addition to mobile personal computers, some products (such as
speakers and monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have
such a product, this information applies to your product. In addition,
your computer product may contain a coin-sized internal battery that
provides power to your system clock even when the machine is
unplugged, so the battery safety information applies to all computers.
Conditions that require immediate action
Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product
damage is serious enough that the product should not be used again until it
has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer.
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is
turned on. On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of
smoke or sparks vent from your machine. Or you might hear sounds like
popping, cracking or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an
internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner.
© Lenovo 2005. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005. v
Or, they might indicate a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks
or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself.
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear
or signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a
component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center or
the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product
and have it repaired, if necessary. For a list of Service and Support phone
numbers, see “Worldwide telephone list” on page 72.
In the unlikely event that you notice any of the conditions listed below, or
if you have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product
and unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until you
can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.
v Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or
power supplies that are cracked, broken or damaged.
v Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks or fire.
v Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, creases), discharge from a
battery, or a buildup of foreign substances on the battery.
v A cracking, hissing or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the
product.
v Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer
product, the power cord or power adapter.
v The computer product, the power cord or power adapter has been exposed
to water.
v The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
v The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating
instructions.
Note: If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension
cord) that is not manufactured for or by Lenovo, stop using that
product until you can contact the product manufacturer for further
instructions, or until you get a suitable replacement.
General safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and
property damage.
Service
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the
Customer Support Center. Use only a service provider who is approved to
repair your particular product.
vi ThinkPad
®
Z60t and Z60m Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide
Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts
are referred to as Customer Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo
expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides documentation with
instructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts.
You must closely follow all instructions when performing such
replacements. Always make sure that the power is turned off and that
the product is unplugged from any power source before you attempt
the replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the
Customer Support Center.
Although there are no moving parts in your computer after the power cord
has been disconnected, the following warnings are required for proper UL
certification.
DANGER
Hazardous moving parts. Keep fingers and other body parts away.
Attention: Before replacing any CRUs, turn off the computer and wait three
to five minutes to let the computer cool before opening the cover.
Power cords and power adapters
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product
manufacturer. The power cord and power adapter are intended for use with
this product only. They should never be used with any other product.
Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so
can stress the cord in ways that can cause the cord to fray, crack or crimp.
This can present a safety hazard.
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or
pinched by objects.
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave
your cord or power adapter near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are
cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short circuit, particularly if
the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also
cause gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector
terminals on the adapter which can eventually result in overheating.
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure
that all power cord connectors are securely and completely plugged into
receptacles.
Important safety information vii
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins
and/or shows signs of overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input
or anywhere on the power adapter.
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show
signs of corrosion or overheating or where the power cord appears to have
been damaged in any way.
Extension cords and related devices
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies,
and power strips that you use are rated to handle the electrical requirements
of the product. Never overload these devices. If power strips are used, the
load should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for
more information if you have questions about power loads, power
requirements, and input ratings.
Plugs and outlets
If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer
equipment appears to be damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it
is replaced by a qualified electrician.
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the
manufacturer to obtain a replacement.
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only
into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this
safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded outlet. If you cannot
insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet
adapter or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature.
Never overload an electrical outlet. The overall system load should not exceed
80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for more
information if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit
ratings.
Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily
accessible, and located close to the equipment. Do not fully extend power
cords in a way that will stress the cords.
Carefully connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet.
Batteries
All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a non-rechargeable
coin cell battery to provide power to the system clock. In addition many
mobile products such as ThinkPad notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable battery
pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by
Lenovo for use with your product have been tested for compatibility and
should only be replaced with approved parts.
viii ThinkPad
®
Z60t and Z60m Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or
incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the
battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly
according to instructions included in the product documentation.
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can
cause gasses or flame to “vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your
battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the
buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and
obtain a replacement from the battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For
some rechargeable batteries (particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a
battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short
circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety
hazard. Do not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or
store these batteries in a discharged state.
Heat and product ventilation
Computers generate heat when turned on and when batteries are charging.
Notebook PCs can generate a significant amount of heat due to their compact
size. Always follow these basic precautions:
v Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any
part of your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning
or when the battery is charging. Your computer produces some heat during
normal operation. Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort
or, potentially, a skin burn.
v Do not operate your computer or charge the battery near flammable
materials or in explosive environments.
v Ventilation slots, fans and/or heat sinks are provided with the product for
safety, comfort, and reliable operation. These features might inadvertently
become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, carpet, or other
flexible surface. Never block, cover or disable these features.
You should inspect your desktop computer for dust accumulation at least
once every three months. Before inspecting your computer, turn off the power
and unplug the computer’s power cord from the electrical outlet; then remove
any dust from vents and perforations in the bezel. If you notice external dust
accumulation, you should also examine and remove dust from the inside of
the computer including heat sink inlet fins, power supply vents, and fans.
Always turn off and unplug the computer before opening the cover. If
possible, avoid operating your computer within 2 feet of high-traffic areas. If
you must operate your computer in or near a high-traffic area, you should
inspect and, if necessary, clean your computer more frequently.
Important safety information ix
For your safety and to maintain optimum computer performance, always
follow these basic precautions with your desktop computer:
v Keep the cover closed whenever the computer is plugged in.
v Regularly inspect the outside of the computer for dust accumulation.
v Remove dust from vents and any perforations in the bezel. More frequent
cleanings might be required for computers in dusty or high-traffic areas.
v Do not block or restrict airflow into the front of the computer.
v Do not block the airflow vents on the back of the computer.
v Do not store or operate your computer inside furniture, as this might
increase the risk of overheating.
v Airflow temperatures into the computer should not exceed 35° C (95° F).
v Do not use non-ThinkCentre air filtration devices.
CD and DVD drive safety
CD and DVD drives spin discs at a high speed. If a CD or DVD is cracked or
otherwise physically damaged, it is possible for the disc to break apart or
even shatter when the CD drive is in use. To protect against possible injury
due to this situation, and to reduce the risk of damage to your machine, do
the following:
v Always store CD/DVD discs in their original packaging
v Always store CD/DVD discs out of direct sunlight and away from direct
heat sources
v Remove CD/DVD discs from the computer when not in use
v Do not bend or flex CD/DVD discs, or force them into the computer or
their packaging
v Check CD/DVD discs for cracks before each use. Do not use cracked or
damaged discs

Important regulatory notice for users
Information about hard disk capacity
The ThinkPad Z60t Series computer and the ThinkPad Z60m Series computer comply with the radio
frequency and safety standards of any country or region in which they have been approved for wireless
use. You are requested to install and use your ThinkPad computer in strict accordance with the local RF
regulations. Before you use the ThinkPad computer, please find and read ThinkPad Z60t Series Regulatory
Notice or ThinkPad Z60m Series Regulatory Notice, the notice that supplements this Service and
Troubleshooting Guide. The notice is included in the package with this publication.
Instead of providing a recovery CD or a Windows
®
CD with your computer, Lenovo provides simpler
methods of accomplishing the tasks typically associated with these CDs. The files and programs for
these alternative methods are on your hard disk, which eliminates having to locate misplaced CDs and
problems associated with using an incorrect CD version.
The complete backup of all the files and programs that Lenovo preinstalled on your computer resides in
a hidden section, or partition, of the hard disk. Although hidden, the backups in the partition consume
hard disk space. Therefore, when checking the capacity of your hard disk according to Windows, you
might note that the total capacity of the disk appears to be smaller than anticipated. This discrepancy is
explained by the contents of the hidden partition. (See “Recovering pre-installed software” on page 34.)
For more information about recovering your hard disk to the original preinstalled contents, refer to your
on-system help source, the ThinkVantage
Productivity Center program. Press the ThinkVantage button
and then browse the Learn section for various topics that cover backing up and recovering.

Caring for your ThinkPad computer
Though your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work
environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following
these important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your
computer.
Important tips:
Be careful about where and how you work
v Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any
part of your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning
or when the battery is charging. Your computer dissipates some heat during
normal operation. This heat is a function of the level of system activity and
battery charge level. Extended contact with your body, even through
clothing, could cause discomfort or, eventually, a skin burn.
v Place liquids away from your computer to avoid spills, and keep your
computer away from water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).
v Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the
risk of suffocation from plastic bags.
v Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones,
electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm/5 in).
v Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F
or above 35°C/95°F).
Be gentle with your computer
v Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the
keyboard or under the keyboard.
v Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push, or place heavy objects
on your computer, display, or external devices.
v Your computer display is designed to be opened and used at an angle
slightly greater than 90 degrees. Do not open the display beyond 180
degrees, as this might damage the computer hinge.
Carry your computer properly
v Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off
attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables.
v Be sure your computer is in standby or hibernation mode, or turned off,
before moving it. This will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and data
loss.
v When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick
up or hold your computer by the display.
Caring for your ThinkPad computer
8 ThinkPad
®
Z60t and Z60m Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide
v Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection.
Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.
Handle storage media and drives properly
v Avoid inserting diskettes at an angle and attaching multiple or loose
diskette labels, as these can lodge in the drive.
v If your computer comes with an optical drive such as CD, DVD, or
CD-RW/DVD drive, do not touch the surface of a disc or the lens on the
tray.
v Wait until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of an optical
drive such as CD, DVD, or CD-RW/DVD drive before closing the tray.
v When installing your hard disk, diskette, CD, DVD, or CD-RW/DVD drive,
follow the instructions shipped with your hardware, and apply pressure
only where needed on the device. See Access Help, your on-board help
system, for information on replacing your hard disk drive.
Take care in setting passwords
v Remember your passwords. If you forget a supervisor or hard disk
password, a Lenovo authorized service provider can not reset it, and you
might have to replace your system board or hard disk drive.
Other important tips
v Your computer modem might use only an analog telephone network, or
public-switched telephone network (PSTN). Do not connect the modem to a
PBX (private branch exchange) or any other digital telephone extension line
because this could damage your modem. Analog phone lines are often used
in homes, while digital phone lines are often used in hotels or office
buildings. If you are not sure which kind of phone line you are using,
contact your telephone company.
v Your computer might have both an Ethernet connector and a modem
connector. If so, be sure to connect your communication cable to the correct
one, so your connector is not damaged. See Access Help, your on-board
help system, for information on the location of these connectors.
v Register your ThinkPad products with Lenovo (refer to the Web page:
www.lenovo.com/register). This can help authorities return your computer
to you if it is lost or stolen. Registering your computer also enables Lenovo
to notify you about possible technical information and upgrades.
v Only an authorized ThinkPad repair technician should disassemble and
repair your computer.
v Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or closed.
v Take care not to turn your computer over while the ac adapter is plugged
in. This could break the adapter plug.
Caring for your ThinkPad computer
Chapter 1. Overview of your new ThinkPad computer 9
v Turn off your computer if you are replacing a device in a device bay, or else
verify that the device is warm- or hot-swappable.
v If you exchange drives in your computer, reinstall the plastic bezel faces (if
supplied).
v Store your external and removable hard disk, diskette, CD, DVD, and
CD-RW/DVD drives in the appropriate containers or packaging when they
are not being used.
v Before you install any of the following devices, touch a metal table or a
grounded metal object. This action reduces any static electricity from your
body. The static electricity could damage the device.

Smart Card
Memory Card, such as SD Card, Memory Stick, and MultiMediaCard

Cleaning the cover of your computer
Occasionally clean your computer as follows:
1. Prepare a mixture of a gentle kitchen-use detergent (one that does not
contain abrasive powder or strong chemicals such as acid or alkaline). Use
5 parts water to 1 part detergent.
2. Absorb the diluted detergent into a sponge.
3. Squeeze excess liquid from the sponge.
4. Wipe the cover with the sponge, using a circular motion and taking care
not to let any excess liquid drip.
5. Wipe the surface to remove the detergent.
6. Rinse the sponge with clean running water.
7. Wipe the cover with the clean sponge.
8. Wipe the surface again with a dry, soft lint-free cloth.
9. Wait for the surface to dry completely and remove any cloth fibers from
the computer surface.
Cleaning your computer keyboard
1. Absorb some isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a soft, dust-free cloth.
2. Wipe each keytop surface with the cloth. Wipe the keys one by one; if you
wipe several keys at a time, the cloth may hook onto an adjacent key and
possibly damage it. Make sure that no liquid drips onto or between the
keys.
3. Allow to dry.
Caring for your ThinkPad computer
10 ThinkPad
®
Z60t and Z60m Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide
4. To remove any crumbs and dust from beneath the keys, you can use a
camera blower with a brush or cool air from a hair drier.
Note: Avoid spraying cleaner directly on the display or the keyboard.
Cleaning your computer display
1. Gently wipe the display with a dry, soft lint-free cloth. If you see a
scratchlike mark on your display, it might be a stain transferred from the
keyboard or the TrackPoint pointing device when the cover was pressed
from the outside.
2. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth.
3. If the stain remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or a 50-50
mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water that does not contain impurities.
4. Wring out as much of the liquid as you can.
5. Wipe the display again; do not let any liquid drip into the computer.
6. Be sure to dry the display before closing it.
Care for the fingerprint reader
The following actions could damage the fingerprint reader or cause it not to
work properly:
v Scratching the surface of the reader with a hard, pointed object.
v Scraping the surface of the reader with your nail or anything hard.
v Using or touching the reader with a dirty finger.
If you notice any of the following conditions, gently clean the surface of the
reader with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth:
v The surface of the reader is dirty or stained.
v The surface of the reader is wet.
v The reader often fails to enroll or authenticate your fingerprint.

maximum battery life by switching the processor speed between the
regular low speed and half of that speed, depending on how much the
processor is used. If the use increases, Intel SpeedStep switches the
processor speed to the lower speed. Operation in this mode can severely
degrade the performance of the processor, and thus cause the playback of
a DVD to be jerky.

Lenovo Statement of Limited Warranty
LSOLW-00 05/2005
Part 1 - General Terms
This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -
Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2
replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by Lenovo Group Limited
or one of its subsidiaries (called Lenovo) in this Statement of Limited Warranty
apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale. The term
“Machine” means a Lenovo machine, its options, features, conversions, upgrades or
peripheral products, or any combination of them. The term “Machine” does not
include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed
subsequently or otherwise. Nothing in this Statement of Limited Warranty
affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by
contract.
What this Warranty Covers
Lenovo warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to Lenovo’s Official Published Specifications
(“Specifications”) which are available on request. The warranty period for the
Machine starts on the original date of installation and is specified in Part 3 -
Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the date of
installation unless Lenovo or your reseller informs you otherwise. Unless
Lenovo specifies otherwise, these warranties apply only in the country or
region in which you purchased the Machine.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND
REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR
JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY
TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN
DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY
AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT
ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY
LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
© Lenovo 2005. Portions © IBM Corp. 2005. 51
What this Warranty Does not Cover
This warranty does not cover the following:
v any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine,
or installed subsequently;
v failure resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or
operating environment, or improper maintenance by you;
v failure caused by a product for which Lenovo is not responsible; and
v any non-Lenovo products, including those that Lenovo may procure and
provide with or integrate into a Lenovo Machine at your request.
The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the
Machine or its parts.
Lenovo does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such
as assistance with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and
installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
How to Obtain Warranty Service
Warranty service may be provided by Lenovo, IBM, your reseller if authorized
to perform warranty service, or an authorized warranty service provider. Each
of them is referred to as a “Service Provider.”
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period,
contact a Service Provider. If you do not register the Machine with Lenovo,
you may be required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your
entitlement to warranty service.
What Lenovo Will Do to Correct Problems
When you contact a Service Provider for service, you must follow the problem
determination and resolution procedures that we specify. An initial diagnosis
of your problem can be made either by a technician over the telephone or
electronically by access to a support website.
The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3
- Warranty Information.
You are responsible for downloading and installing designated software
updates from a support web site or from other electronic media, and
following the instructions that your Service Provider provides. Software
updates may include basic input/output system code (called “BIOS”), utility
programs, device drivers, and other software updates.
52 ThinkPad
®
Z60t and Z60m Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide
If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit (“CRU”)
(e.g., keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive), your Service
Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.
If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period
and your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or electronically,
through your application of software updates, or with a CRU, your Service
Provider, will either, at its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as
warranted, or 2) replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If
your Service Provider is unable to do either, you may return the Machine to
your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.
As part of the warranty service, your Service Provider may also install
selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
Exchange of a Machine or Part
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the
item your Service Provider replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the
replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine
and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working
order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The
replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item.
Your Additional Responsibilities
Before your Service Provider exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to
remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under
warranty service.
You also agree to:
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service
a Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider
provides;
b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the
Machine; and
c. provide your Service Provider with sufficient, free, and safe access to
your facilities to permit Lenovo to fulfill its obligations.
4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals
(Personal Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically
possible), (b) allow your Service Provider or a supplier to process on your
behalf any remaining Personal Data as your Service Provider considers
necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Statement of Limited
Warranty (which may include shipping the Machine for such processing to
Appendix B. Warranty information 53
other service locations around the world), and (c) ensure that such
processing complies with any laws applicable to such Personal Data.
Limitation of Liability
Lenovo is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is
1) in your Service Provider’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where
Lenovo is responsible for the transportation charges.
Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider are responsible for any of your
confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine
which you return for any reason. You should remove all such information
from the Machine prior to its return.
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on Lenovo’s part or
other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such
instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages
from Lenovo (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or
other contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or
limited by applicable laws, Lenovo is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property
and tangible personal property for which Lenovo is legally liable; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges for the
Machine that is subject of the claim.
This limit also applies to Lenovo’s suppliers, resellers and your Service
Provider. It is the maximum for which Lenovo, its suppliers, resellers, and
your Service Provider are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS LENOVO, ITS SUPPLIERS,
RESELLERS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD

UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE
TO, DATA; 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR
FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR 4) LOST

APPLY TO YOU.
