Happened to me too lol.

But it is "fixable", don't worry. Contact the local Lenovo Support email. Tell them your warranty's effed up. Be prepared to supply them with a scan of the sales reciept later along the way.

Last year around October sent to Service Center to check because the battery is bloated and pushed the bottom part of the screen away from the casing.

The tech help me to remove the battery and glue back the screen for free. The tech also advise me to get the battery outside because Lenovo price is expensive. Estimated around RM350 to 400 and also need to wait as they don't have stock.

At the same time checked the fan and discovered the fan is dirty. After cleaning then no more noisy sound.

So finally I bought the replacement battery from AliExpress for USB48.75 in November 2019 and it is still working.

Btw, I changed the motherboard this year due to it intermittent unable to detect the SSD. Luckily it is still under warranty.

I also did the SSD upgrade to Samsung 970 EVO Plus 512GB in Jan this year.
