LAPTOP REFURBISHMENT PROGRAM at Free Geek

PROCESS PROCEDURES FOR LAPTOP REBUILD

Since many of these pages will be printed in black text,
redirecting links will be identified by an * at the beginning and end of a link.

Primarily for data security reasons, but also for educational purposes, the *Laptop Instructor Responsibilities* require that he or she must be present to work on laptops. 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 laptops. Additionally, volunteers are required to take the command line class. From here, we have some familiar steps:
*Laptop Specs*: Provides the guidelines for evaluators on the minimum hardware specfication and what needs to be removed or included as systems move through Evaluation.
*Laptop Evaluation*: Determine if the incoming pizza boxes are full of tasty, fresh goodness or dried and rotting crap.
Laptop *As-Is_Checklist*: Laptops that teeter between "too slow to Build" and "too fast to Recycle" are given a last chance to fly away.
*Laptop Build Checklist*: Get your hands dirty with questionably functional laptops. Side effects of this step may include frustration, yelling, belief in demonic forces at work within laptops, and learning all sorts of exciting new things.
*Laptop QC Checklist*: Double-check the builder's work, keep things clean and standardized, and prepping laptops for their final destination.

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO THE LAPTOP PROGRAM:

*Laptop Recycling*
OS installation - A workstation dedicated to loading 2.5" hard drives is available in the Laptop Build area. Drives which have been successfully erased are loaded, one at a time, at that station.
Sorting *Laptop Memory*
Shelf organizing

We have hand tools to accomplish the rebuild and recycle tasks, but over time you may find you want to bring and use your own. No problem! Be sure to label them so they don't get lost. Here are some *Tool Sources* around town for those that are interested.
