LAPTOP REFURBISHMENT PROGRAM at Free Geek

PROCESS PROCEDURES FOR LAPTOP REBUILD 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 specification and what needs to be removed or included as systems move through Evaluation. Laptop Processor Hierarchy: A visual representation of where the various mobile processors sit in relation to each other. Laptop Evaluation Checklist: 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.
