The Tech Depot provides a “no-cost” initial diagnosis (15 minutes limit) for computer hardware and software issues.  Our experience has shown the majority of the time during the initial diagnosis, we can resolve minor problems quickly and efficiently.  For severe hardware failure, we offer a “repair depot drop-off/pick-up”.

Repair Depot:
In addition to software troubleshooting, the Technology Depot offers repair and upgrade services for:  

• Factory-Authorized Warranty Repair Center for: Apple, Dell, HP and IBM/Lenovo (business-class machines only; we do NOT work on consumer-line computers)

• Computers, monitors, keyboards, mice, printers, and most other computer peripherals

• Hard drives, motherboards, power supplies, and RAM

• We will only work on equipment manufactured after 12/31/07.

• See our Repair Depot Offerings with complete information (by vendor) on what equipment we can work on

We work on "business-class" machines only with the above listed brands. Call the Service Desk at (740) 593-1222 or visit the Technology Depot, Baker University Center 112 for further assistance. We service what we sell. If you have a machine that we can't work on, we have provided a list of local vendors who do.

Where to Go:

After the initial diagnosis, equipment repairs are $45 per hour (1 hour minimum charge), unless a repair is covered by a Dell, IBM/Lenovo or Apple warranty, in which case there is no charge for labor. Most software troubleshooting services are free.
