Whether you 're on campus or off, the Computing Center 's Electronics Shop ( "E-Shop ") can help you with all your microcomputer hardware, maintenance, repair, and upgrade needs.

Recently relocated to more spacious quarters on the ground floor of Grayson Hall, the shop is open to serve you every weekday from 8 am to 5 pm. (UO Bookstore customers can also drop off equipment from 10 am until 6 pm Saturday, and from noon until 6 pm Sunday, at the Bookstore's Computer and Imaging Center.)

All shop services are available on a first-come, first-served, carry-in basis, and the reception desk is conveniently located near the loading dock and parking. Bring your computer equipment to 151 Grayson at the north end of the building and check it in with the receptionist. Customers are called when the work is completed.

Hardware Repair. E-Shop technicians are experienced with many brands of microcomputers and peripherals, including Apple and Windows/Intel machines, and can offer advice regarding upgrades as well as repairs.

The shop is a Level 1 Apple-authorized service center as well as a Dell-certified tier 1 Service Provider. Warranty services are provided for nearly all models of Macs and Tangent computers, and out-of warranty services are provided for all Windows/Intel machines, subject to part availability.

Shop technicians also have extensive experience repairing laser printers of all makes and models.

Upgrades. Whether you need more memory, a larger hard disk, or would like to add a new peripheral, shop technicians can help you determine the best and most cost-effective way to upgrade your machine. The shop prides itself on using only the highest quality parts available, and it keeps memory in stock for virtually all Macintosh and Windows/Intel-based desktop computers. A large selection of cables is also in stock. Other items can be ordered on request.

Rates. Upgrades and out-of-warranty repairs are charged on a time-and-materials basis. The current labor rate is $60/hour, with a half-hour minimum.
