Service Requests

2663 requests so far this year 3708 requests last year

Service RequestsSome of the 80 service requests entered this past week…. My computer started overheating and turning off on Friday. Today, It will not start. My LCD projector has a flashing heat / lamp indicator. It still functions though. I'd like to

see it serviced before it fails. The lights started flashing just this last week. Thanks! I am having trouble with my e-mail. My contacts no longer show up as options when I am

sending an e-mail, and my archived folders are not showing up. I am wondering if I changed some settings somewhere by mistake.

One of my classroom computers is not working. It is on, but just shows a lot of messages on the screen. I have tried restarting it, no luck. I have tried following the directions from the message on the screen, no luck. I use these computers for centers each day and would like to have it fixed

For some reason, my computer audio has a lot of reverb…it sounds like an echo. I’m planning to show a DVD on Thursday, but I’m not sure I can with the sound the way it is.

Identify and/or install analog phone line for disaster preparedness. This analog phone line must not be tied to the computerized phone lines. Thanks for your help on this.

I am to locate a connected OBJH scanner and figure out how to use it because a Just 5 Clicks person is going to scan student tests into a system in Chicago. Could you help me locate it?

Computer 7788 is taking up to 30 minutes to start up in the mornings. This is causing the cashier to have to write student numbers down and enter them later.

I need a folder set up that both students and I can access. It will contain the files from the book publisher for my computer class.

My computer is aging and needs to move to an assisted living facility. It is slow to open windows, close windows, think and remember. I end up with overlapping windows, etc. it takes forever to do anything. Thanks
