THE DOCTOR IS IN COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC CLINIC

What:	Each Friday morning, volunteer "Computer Doctors" share their time at the Computer Learning Center to handle technical hardware and software questions and solve problems.  They attempt to troubleshoot hardware and sort out software problems on site.  If the problem is beyond their means, the member is referred to one of the repair shops that advertise with Alamo PC. The repair shop does charge for the problem. We do the work at the Computer Learning Center as a member-to-member benefit, with donations requested. What to bring with you: Your Alamo PC membership card or member number Your computer and all connecting cables, cords, software drivers or programs related to the problem area You do not need to bring your monitor, mouse, or keyboard unless you are having a specific problem with those items.  Make sure you have the keycode for all of your software. If you are having problems with your scanner, printer, or something that hooks up to your computer; bring that item in addition to your computer etc. plus all connecting cables and software (don't forget the keycode for your software) If you are having a problem with SBC Broadband (DSL) in addition to your computer etc. bring your SBC or Broadband modem, power supply and cables.  We will also need your user name and password for this and any other internet related problems.
