SITS Continues Hard Work
Today our SITS Team continues working to repair and troubleshoot problems we find with our hardware.
The Problem with Humidity and PCs
With the Spring heat rolling in, it is important to understand how to deal with the excess humidity. Too much humidity can damage your components and cause performance issues. In order to prevent this from happening, you should invest in a quality computer case, monitor humidity levels, and possibly use a dehumidifier.
Fun Fact
Laptop motherboards are proprietary and do not have a form factor. Features like these in laptops make them specifically hard to troubleshoot and refurbish.
Safety while working with technology
While working with technology, using proper safety techniques is essential to protecting you and your equipment. For example, using antistatic wrist straps help protect the components you're working on.
Money Tips to help SITS
Here at SITS, we refurbish technology and then redistribute. Donations are one of the ways we pay for this. Starting this week, we are putting glass jars in classes along the CV Hall where students will have the opportunity to donate to help our cause!
SITS Helps Reduce E-Waste
At SITS, we help reduce the current global problem of E-Waste by reusing computer technology and installing Zorin OS. With the new refurbished device, we redistribute it to people in need for no profit.
