In case any of your are interested in an extended warranty for your G Tablet, Mack Camera offers extended warranties on just about everything. The only stipulation is that you purchase and register the warranty within 30 days of purchasing the product (the product can be refurbished, but must have a 90 day warranty I believe).
Here's the cheapest warranty that covers the G Tablet. I verified this with Mack Camera this morning over the phone:

I have purchased Mack Camera warranties from AVAlive before and have had no problems whatsoever with them. I believe I will be getting this and thought that many of you may not know about it.
God Bless!

I purchased a warranty or insurance for my G tablet(2 years) from sears. My question for those that work or have experience with returns, say I have 2 G tablets; 1 with and 1 without insurance. Can I return either of the two incase something happens to Sears?
I'm asking because I had originally bought a Nook Color for my sister's birthday, but she didn't really like it so I returned it. She wants the same one I have and knowing how clumsy she is, can my insurance protect hers?
Thanks!
Depends on if they registered your serial number when they sold you the warranty. If so, you're probably not going to be able to do it.

I don't think they did, I went to return a gtab 3 days after purchase to get the $30 sale difference. When I asked if I was still able to purchase an insurance all they did was ask for my rewards card and receipt. I only paid the difference of $20 for the 2 year insurance. I would think that if you're covered, return one, then the serials would be different or change. I think they only go by item number/stock number. The only ones I know that go by serial is when you're going by manufacturer's warranty.
Any other help, or experience with this?
It's too late but I'd recommend using an American Express card for purchases since they will extend warranty to another year. Other credit cards do it also but Amex tends to have pretty good service for their extended warranty.
I bought a 3y warranty from squaretrade yester with accidental "handling" damage added for c. $65... there's a 30% off coupon which worked for me: FBPREVIEW
(I've never bought a warranty from squaretrade before, but I've only seen positive comments about them, and no negative(a good sign as negatives are usually more common than positive comments) comments... seemed like a good deal to me as I'm sure that I'll eventually drop the gTab or spill something on it...)
Will Best Buy give me a replacement dock and tablet if I cite the dock malfunction despite my having unlocked the tablet?
I have a similar question here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646723
I think we should be OK to unroot & wipe... **waits for confirmation!**
You unlocked the boatloader?
You've officially lost warranty.
Though, you can allways hope they wont notice..
but thats losing warranty with asus. not best buy, i doubt anyone at bestbuy is smart enough to know anything about it and best buys warranty doesnt say anything about stuff like that. simply, its broke, we replace..
Best Buy Warranty
This depends... if you didn't purchase an extended warranty through them they honor the terms of the manufacturer's warranty. How this is carried out varies from product to product and vendor to vendor. In some cases, the vendor agreement essentially replaces the item out right. In the worst form, the product gets sent back to a manufacturer's authorized service center. Sometimes this is the manufacturer and other times is a third party. I do agree that it is unlikely that anyone at the store level would notice the unlocked bootloader however it may get noticed at the service center.
If you purchased the extended warranty, then most likely the product will not be serviced and it will be replaced.
I will admit that it has been 2 years since I worked in the warranty fulfillment capacity with that company so things may have changed some. Either way I'm glad to have a real job. Hope this helps.
Meh. If they're anything like Walmart, they probably won't even turn it on. I returned 2 tablets to Walmart, and the only hassle I got was from taking the S/N sticker off the second one, and they still took it back.
Does the device say "unlocked" at boot? I just swapped my 16gb for a 32gb and they definitely turned it on to confirm it works.
If it doesn't say unlocked anywhere than I doubt they'd notice.

The device does indeed say that it's unlocked at boot... Will Best Buy actually notice and know what to make of it?
Hello and thanks to all of you geniuses who can answer almost ANY question EVER.
I just want to briefly warn everyone about my recent experience with my Marquis MP977.
First let me say that over the past 8 years or so I have had at least five devices repaired or replaced FOR FREE because their one-year warranty was still active and none had any damage or had been "tampered with" as the phrase goes... ALL of these devices were purchased in the used market and so I did not have ANY proof of purchase from the original Retailers.
Recently I became the owner of a Marquis MP977, purchased used in "like new" condition. Soon enough, the tablet, though fully charged, stopped powering up, and cannot be recognized by my laptop which prevents me from being able to flash or update firmware, or conduct any troubleshooting.
I opened up a case with Marquis, and here is an excerpt from their Customer Support Department:
"Yes, we can honor the warranty without a receipt, as all of our tablets produced are still within the one-year warranty (the only way to void that would be through accidental damage, or tampering)."
Sounds good, right? Wrong. After exchanging several messages online, I finally got their "Senior Support Representative" (Scott) to call me, and he said Marquis will not honor an active, valid warranty unless a proof of purchase from the original retailer is provided.
Maybe this won't matter to many of you, but I just wanted to let people know that Marquis will not honor their warranty without a proof of purchase from the original retailer even if the product is only a few weeks old, is like new, and has not been "tampered with".
Marquis is the first and ONLY company I have had this issue with.
This post is not intended to imply Marquis products are bad, but it is my opinion that with any electronic device, a trustworthy warranty is a primary deciding factor in making a purchase, new or otherwise.
If anyone has an opinion on this I'd be interested in hearing it. Thanks again to all.
Buy a square trade warranty....that's what I did. And it covers everything for 2 years....just got a screen replaced! It was shattered when one of my kids stepped on it. It might work for you.

Dear, its all upto your sole decision, if you wish to go for extended warranty for your device or not.
I would receommend that its really worth to spend atleast 7% of the handset value to give it extra cover.
You should go for extended warranty from company like WarrantyBazaar.com
Very cheap gadget secure plan and hassle free services.:good:
Extended Warranty Role
Extended warranty is also useful just like a normal warranty that we will get at the time of purchasing any mobile from anywhere. Extended warranties are anyhow beneficial for us because it gives extra recovery, coverage and insurance to our devices. Companies like WARRANTYBAZAAR are providing best warranty extension plans at very less price.
Yep, we should always buy extended warranty for our mobile as nowadays mostly people use to buy smartphones ranging between 20k to 30k and if some mishaps happen with phone like screen got damaged, touchscreen not working etcetera, we need to pay huge money to get that repaired. So it is necessary for us to opt for mobile extended warranty. Infact, I have bought such plan from famous after sales company Onsitego.
Does anyone know if Lenovo or Lowe's offers any kind of insurance/damage protection? Square trade might but I don't know?

I thought I read somewhere that it was supposed to have a one year warranty, but when I added my phone to the Lenovo page, it claimed I had no warranty. I bought my phone from Lowes (online). The Lenovo phone rep claimed it was a glitch because their system isn't set up for phones, but they also couldn't look up my warranty to tell me how long it really was, so I'm not sure what to believe.
Square trade but it's a one time thing also make sure to get it right after getting the phone
Can you post link to Lenovo warranty register page?

I bought a square trade warranty for drops and spills, which also covers mechanical issues (if that's the right word), but I read somewhere our P2P has a 1 year manufacturers warranty, since it's sold in the states. According to Lenovo US Phab 2 Pro site http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/smartphones/phab-series/phab2-pro/ there is a warranty, but apparently you have to contact them for specifics.

There is a SquareTrade warranty with Drops and Spills... I couldn't get any kind of warranty for my Chinese Huawei Mediapad X2... SquareTrade said nope... They said only USA releases... I am thinking that I will get the SquareTrade with Drops and Spills. Something like a $99 deductible and maybe $150 a year... You need to have a receipt from a good USA retailer. I bought my Note 3 NEW on ebay a year or so after it was first released... SquareTrade would only give me a mechanical warranty... I bought my nephew a tablet that was manufactured with an inherent problem with the charging port. I got a 3-year Drops & Spills warranty on it. We are now on the THIRD brand - new tablet SquareTrade has sent us!!! The charging port goes bad and they apparently cannot fix it. I had no deductible and no shipping charges to or from! The only thing is that the tablet is no longer available and it took a LOOOONG time to get this last new one... I am going to demand money instead of a new tablet if it happens again!!!

I bought my square deal warranty for $79 for 1 year with $99 deductible. Use harvest20 as coupon/code at checkout for 20% off. At least that worked for me last Friday.

Thanks! I forgot about the 20% off... I have been getting emails from them about that and just automatically deleting them because I don't need a new warranty at this time... I am still waiting for the P2P to COME BACK!!! I WILL get the warranty ASAP after buying the phone... I figure I would be spending at least as much on a new phone without a warranty as I will on a P2P + WARRANTY...
