Hardware issues


Sometimes hardware issues may happen. Generally we advise not to attempt any repairs - that's the role of laboratories staff and services.

Attempting repairs on your own you're putting yourself in a harm's way.

Black screen

Some of the more nasty students sometimes turn off computers' monitors. Such a monitor can be turned on with a button on the front. If this doesn't help do not fiddle with cables but call for administrator's help.

Faulty keyboard or mouse

If a given computer's keyboard or mouse is faulty, report it to laboratories support and it will be immediately replaced.

For toggling and switching keyborad and mouses from different computers we should cut off clean student's fingers. We're not doing that only because of hygiene conditions.
