LAPTOP REPAIR PROGRAM at Free Geek

The Program

We have a new coordinator, Jeff Robinson (Jeff-eh, Jefcanuk, Jeff the Canadian), and he will be around Tues. through Sat.

Class Times

Tuesdays and Wednesdays 11:00-2:30 Thursday-Saturday 12:00-6:00 (times subject to change, come on back to the Black hole and talk to Jeff)

Steps

The laptop program requires a great deal of pc hardware experience, so it is expected that all students have gone through the build program before moving into the black hole. From here, we have some familiar steps:

Laptop Evaluation - determine if the incoming pizza boxes are full of tasty, fresh goodness or dried and rotting crap.
Laptop QC - double-check the builder's work, time the battery life, keep things clean and standardized.
Laptop Build/Repair - Now that you're familiar with things, get your hands dirty with questionably functional laptops.

In addition, there are some tasks that can be done throughout your time in the black hole:

harddrive testing
os installation
ram sorting
shelf organizing

What to Bring

Laptop Tools - if you don't want to use ours, label yours. There are some Tool Sources around town.

ToDo:

syllabus, repair howto(s) & triage charts, website to FG's store, wiki

Info

Here's the howtos and information we need to accomplish our tasks.
