If your laptop is on the blink, your printer's erratic, or if you simply need more cables or computer batteries, you can find what you need here on campus at the Computing Center's Electronics Shop (E-Shop).

Conveniently located on the ground floor of McKenzie Hall in Room 151, the nonprofit E-Shop offers extensive personal computer hardware support and repair services to UO students, faculty, and staff.

Apple Repair. The shop is a Level 1 Apple-authorized service center and can perform warranty, AppleCare, and out-of-warranty repairs on nearly all Mac models and peripherals.

PC Repair. The shop can perform non-warranty repairs on virtually all desktop and laptop models.

Upgrades. E-Shop technicians can help you determine the best and most cost-effective way to upgrade your machine. The shop keeps memory in stock for virtually all PC and Mac desktops and laptops.

Custom Systems (including backup solutions such as Firewire/USB and CD-RW drives or DVD superdrives). If you need a backup solution or a custom system configuration, such as a server with multiple SCSI controllers and mirrored disk drives, talk to the technicians. The shop may be able to build you a machine at considerable savings.

Parts. You'll find a wide selection of cables, hard drives, CD-RWs, adapters, and ethernet and USB hubs and switches at the shop. The shop stocks many PC parts, as well as ethernet cables and cables for printers and monitors, so you won't have to wait or travel far to get what you need.

Rates. Upgrades and out-of-warranty repairs are charged on a time-and-materials basis. The initial diagnostics fee is $40, and the current labor rate is $80/hour, billed by the quarter hour. As a convenience to customers, the shop now accepts Visa and MasterCard.

Hours and Policies. The shop is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays. Parking is available in the McKenzie parking lot on the west side of the building.

All shop services are available on a first-come, first-served, carry-in basis. On weekdays, bring your computer equipment to 151 McKenzie Hall and check it in with the receptionist.

Weekends. UO Bookstore customers can also drop off equipment from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. Sunday at the Bookstore's "Digital Duck" department. The E-Shop will call you when the work has been completed, and you may pick up your machine at the reception desk in 151 McKenzie Hall.
