Forums > Living in Kunming > Lenovo Thinkpad support It was not a store, but a ThinkCentre service point. They told me they would change the screen for free and within two days if I had registered my product.
The guys in the repair place told me to go there as soon as I mentioned that I still had about a year's worth of warranty left.
Forums > Living in Kunming > Lenovo Thinkpad support I've found a Thinkpad service centre that will replace my display for free in Xiao Cai Yuan Lu 249 (just north of Gu Lou Lu, on the east bank of the Pan Long Jiang).
Unfortunately, my computer had not been registered for global support or something like it (even though the Lenovo toolbox says: this product has a Global Model Plus special bid three year limited warranty). So they told me to call 8008103315 (Beijing) and register there, then come back. Now I hope this registration is for free. And otherwise it probably still beats the price of fitting a new display.
Funny fact: first, I went to a Lenovo store on Yuan Tong Bei Lu. There they asked and called around and then brought me to the building across the road, where only two elevators need to swallow hundreds of people going to each one of the 20 floors. We had to go to floor 18. After 10 minutes of waiting, an elevator finally arrives and since the button for floor 18 doesn't work, we're off to floor 19 and we then take the emergency stairs, dodging trash and leaking fluid, to the 18th. There no one answers the door so we try floor 17 (the elevator apparently reports the wrong floor, too). A bunch of Chinese people sit there repairing computers in flickering tubelight. They eventually tell me to go to the service centre since my computer is still under warranty.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Lenovo Thinkpad support Hey
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with getting Lenovo support for their Thinkpad in China? I have worldwide support but the China hotline only speaks Chinese and my Chinese isn't really sufficient to consult technical support over the phone.
In fact, I need to send the computer in because something's wrong with the graphics card inside the computer. Do you think any of the Lenovo stores around here are authorised dealerships that can fix my computer without voiding warranty?

Lijiang blaze destroys old town businesses
发布者That was one day after I'd left. Anyway, Danmairen, I'm not sure if there really are fire engines that fit inside the old town of Lijiang. I even have trouble getting around without bumping my head. I'm in fact impressed the fire was contained with relative little damage.
They might have seen it coming though, there was some fire accident between Lijiang and Shangri-La during the time of my visit, which shrouded the entire Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in smoke.
Getting Away: Nanning
发布者I'm a bit late, perhaps, and biased, perhaps, because I haven't seen a proper big city since I left Kunming on my bicycle trip. But I'm positively impressed by Nanning after only one night. Green streets, air quality good, weather nice and warm in winter, big food streets at night, a selection of nice bars, and everything the western heart wants in terms of coffee, restaurants and bars.
In that aspect, it's doing better than Kunming. Con: it sprawls on forever and wouldn't make a good city to start bike rides from. You'd have to conquer forty km to get out of it first.
