Getting help and service

If you have a problem with your computer, you will find a wide variety of
sources available to help you.

Using the documentation and diagnostic programs

Many computer problems can be solved without outside assistance. If you
experience a problem with your computer, the first place to start is the
troubleshooting information in your computer documentation. If you suspect a
software problem, see the documentation, including README files and online
help, that comes with the operating system or application program.
Most IBM computers and servers come with a set of diagnostic programs that
you can use to help you identify hardware problems. See the troubleshooting
information in your computer documentation for instructions on using the
diagnostic programs.
The troubleshooting information or the diagnostic programs might tell you that
you need additional or updated device drivers or other software. IBM
maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest technical
information and download device drivers and updates. To access these pages,
go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/ and follow the instructions.

Calling for service

warranty period, you can get help and information by telephone through the
