Regarding the 2nd & 3rd year warranty, I saw from Toshiba brochure (Aug/Sep 2012 issue) stated that certain modern such as M840, L850-1007X, L840-1026X, etc has FREE 2nd & 3rd year Local Limited Warranty. However, I saw one forumer bought M840 recently from Harvey Norman but only covered by ONE year warranty (maybe the shop didn't tell him properly even if he is entitled to it). Who can confirm whether M840 has free extended warranty if purchase is made within Aug/Sep 2012?
