If you want a sneak peek at what you’ll see when you are checking your IBM warranty, see our detailed IBM Warranty Check Steps.

What if my IBM device is out of warranty?

There's no need to worry! Third party maintenance providers like M Global can provide-post warranty support for IBM hardware that has reached their EOL or EOSL dates.

What about my IBM hardware's EOL and EOSL dates?

Sometimes it can be tricky to find EOL and EOSL dates for your hardware, especially when the OEM isn't completely transparent with their product information. In trying to drive attention to their new products, IBM doesn't really advertise the end of sale date for their models, they just eventually phase them out over a half a year. If you want to stay on top of your IBM equipment's EOL and EOSL dates and receive full transparency, contact a TPM provider like M Global Services.

Steps for Checking Your IBM Warranty

Log in to your IBM account using your IMBid.

It's pretty easy to create an IBMid, so there's no need to worry if you can't find your login or if the person at your job before you didn't leave the passwords to everything. There are a couple of verification steps, but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Handy tip: Keep your machine type and serial numbers organized in a document to make checking warranty information a snap. You won't have to hunt for it on the back or bottom of the device.
