I have a thinkpad laptop which has 3 years onsite warranty in the UK.

I opened a service ticket as I was having issues with the displayport on the laptop.

Service Ticket: 409WR5K on the 23rd January 2020.

On the 14th Feb I was told that an engineer was coming to replace a part on my laptop.

I took time off from work to have the laptop repaired on the 18th Feb. 

When the engineer arrived he was smelling of cigarettes and shaking while attempting to fix the laptop.

He did not use any electricity grounding wristband.

He damaged my laptop significantly. He broke the keyboard keys and made holes in it, and broke the clips around it. He damaged the front bezel.

He scratched the back of the laptop casing and damaged the side of the laptop as well.

After I asked about the damaged he argued with me and my colleague.

I rang up Lenovo customer support and sent in the photos of the damage.

I was told 4 parts were ordered to be replaced.

On the 26th Feb I took time off work again when the engineer came. He fitted the new bezel and keyboard and back case.

He mentioned that one part was not supplied and he was unable to fit the screen casing properly, so the screen bezel is not fitted properly.

Also the red light on the top case is not working properly he mentioned any longer.

When he turned on the laptop the screen was cracked. He said he will contact the office to have it fixed.

When I connected my charger to the laptop it turned off. In order to turn it on I have to press the reset button underneath.

When it turned on the laptop is not recognizing a battery is fitted. When I checked the battery I saw the rubber under the battery is damaged.

Also the laptop will not turn on unless I press the reset button each time.

The charger port and laptop is getting really hot 50'C, which seems dangerous.

Also when the USB or HDMI etc is connected the displayport is turning off and then back on.

My original keyboard I had was a backlit keyboard however the one supplied and fitted by the engineer is not backlit.

Also the casing fitted around the keyboard now has a fingerprint reader, however my laptop did not have this, therefore this does not work.

I am unable to go into work till this is resolved as I the screen does not work as it has been cracked.

I use my laptop for work so this is becoming very frustrating and I have taken off significant time to get my laptop repaired but it is damaged more each time.

Originally I was told by the Lenovo my laptop would be replaced, and now 2 weeks after my case escalation I am being told the warranty does not cover me as I am 2nd user.
