and switched away from my macbook again …
Last monday the on-site technician exchanged the motherboard (only the motherboard, i.e. he removed the cpu from the old board and put it on the new one!). Afterwards it didn’t work anyway.
On the 6th day lenovo support called me and asked me if they could send me a new RAM. Half an hour later a technician called me, if it is okay to come in an hour to fix my computer.
Meanwhile I’ve removed one RAM bar and now it works :) (I never tried that before, because the telephon support said that I should see something on the display if I remove the main memory completely). An hour later the technician called again, that he doesn’t come, because no hardware (i.e. ram) arrived.
As the technician on monday couldn’t boot my laptop he wasn’t able set any serial numbers, so I had to do that myself: http://down-circle.blogspot.com/2012/07/ibm-lenovo-thinkpad-maintenance-disk.html
