information about IBM products, you will find a wide variety of
sources available from IBM to assist you.

Help is also available from bulletin boards and online services, as well
as by fax and telephone. This section provides information about these

Hardware warranty summary
When you purchase an IBM hardware product, you get
comprehensive warranty coverage. During the IBM hardware
product warranty period, you may call the IBM HelpCenter for
hardware product assistance. See “Product registration and getting
help by telephone” later in this Appendix for a list of numbers.
Be sure to retain your proof of purchase to obtain warranty service.
For additional information, refer to the IBM warranty statement
included with your product or available from your reseller.
Before you call for service
Many problems can be solved without outside assistance, by using the
online help or by reviewing the online or printed documentation
supplied with your PC companion. If you suspect a software problem,
consult the documentation (including Readme files) for the operating
system or application program.
If, after reviewing these sources, you cannot solve your problem, call
your regional IBM HelpCenter.
