Hello,
Sry, cross posting with a Lenovo sectioned forum, need quick info.
Looking for some info about possible damage to laptop from dropping.
Sadly, i recently dropped my thinkpad T550, it fell on its corner at the right screen hinge.
Case cracked around the hinge, making the base open-up for about half an inch, fan visible hanging loose.
Screen is slightly bend between the hinges , slightly twisted on the diagonal length and bezels has popped open around half of the screen (screen could not be opend -up anymore but not cracked).
Battery could not be put back in (outer case bend).
Laptop was planned to be picked up by Lenovo for inspection-repair.
Vendor checked it out and said not neccesary, they assembled it and got it flat again, only optical damage.
I have an full-omnium insurance with that specific vendor, and optical damage is suddenly not covered anymore.
Should i be worried about possible unvisible damage causing problems later on, haven't seen the inside of the laptop.
Quite worried as the laptop looked bad when i handed it over.
