COLD DARK ROOM

Lyn W · Jun 27, 2017

Hi everyone.
Not had chance to pop in the last few days.
I'm quite worried this evening as think I've damaged a brand new £8k wall mounted computer by leaving it on too long.

I feel terrible about it and I'll have to offer to pay for it.
Sleepless night for me tonight!

If your brand new computer is damaged by being left on too long there's a fault that's covered under warranty!

Take it from an IT Technician of many years experience!

Older kit may struggle - largely due to overheating and dust build-up inside - but new kit should be capable of 24/7 running.

Good morning all

We had a very soggy night here as did most of the UK I think.

It's grey and damp this morning. Temperatures over 30C may only be a week ago, but they already feel like a distant memory.

I escape the paint fumes for an eSafety meeting this morning. Just for once I don't have an hour's drive to get there. In fact, it's so close I'd walk if the danger of drowning on the way there seemed smaller.

I am the same opinion. This is a case for warranty !

Found this big beauty on our wheelie bin today. It's an "Old Lady" moth (Mormo maura) the biggest UK species

Hi Ed
Relieved to say my expensive new toy was back to normal today!
Phew! What a relief.
Apparently it happens if on and not used for a while - £8k and no screen saver!!!!!
Why they didn't just give us our trusty old whiteboards like the rest of the school I don't know.
Wonder how long it will before a kid hurls a chair at it!!!!

Hi Linda
I found an online manual as we haven't been given any hard copies and it says that if the screen is left on too long something I think called picture capture happens and is not covered by warranty, so why it doesn't have large warning on it I don't know. They've given us these lovely hi tec things but no training or instructions and we need them up and running by Monday when the kids are back. Mind you they aren't really suitable for our use - about half the size of an IWB so while we can adjust the height of them for access, kids with sight problems will struggle. They bought us 6 and all of us just wanted IWBs - we are an ungrateful bunch.

I thought of you today Ed when I tried my first Morning Dew - a citrus burst.
Very refreshing and only 50p!

Ah so it's a touch board of some sort

Yup a 'ctouch laser air'
We have the office suite on it but can't get our interactive teaching resources we use a lot.
When I left today we still didn't even have internet access!
It would be great in a board room but at the moment I don't rate it as a teaching tool, although
that may change when we get used to them.
