At the Electronic Repair Centre we service all computer, audio-visual and related electronic equipment. For I.T. related repair, your school SST must evaluate the computer, Smartboard or printer first. They will then log it into the work order system and send it through the board courier. For audio-visual equipment, any staff member can fill out a repair form and send it in though the courier. If your school needs repair forms, email [email protected].

NOTE: If a repair is related to a special needs student, please indicate on the work order. Special Education needs will be given priority.

Important: Please do not try to repair any equipment yourself. It is not only dangerous, it usually causes more damage for us to fix.

Once it's designated for permanent retirement, it will be properly recycled by a certified handler. For over 10 years, our Board has partnered with the local charity, Computers For Kids.

BATTERY & TONER RECYCLING

Battery Recycling - Pack into a box and label "RECYCLE" and Send to the Electronic Repair Centre

Toner Recycling - Place in original box if you have it, label "RECYCLE" and send to the Electronic Repair Centre. If you don't have a box, wrap in a plastic bag and label accordingly.

TV and Viewboard Purchasing

It is very important to contact the ERC before purchasing a television. Brand, price, proper size, option needs and mounting are a few things you need to consider. If you plan to mount it, only Board approved, heavy duty mounts are to be used, no substitutes will be accepted. If you plan on using an existing cart, we have special mounts for that as well. Email us to get the process started.

 

ALTERATION TO SCHOOL FORM

Audio Visual Staging/Support
The ERC provides audio-visual equipment and technical support for meetings, conferences and special events throughout the Windsor/Essex area. As a full service department, we can supply requests for virtually any situation regardless of the technical requirements. This service alone saves the system close to $100 000 yearly. A single large event at a conference centre like Caesars, savings have been in the $40 000 to $60 000 range alone. To book audio/visual support for a system wide event please fill out the A/V Support Form below.

We have various types of cables and adapters in stock. We can also make or repair most audio-visual cables. Email us for details.

We now sharpen and repair all paper cutters. Please ensure the blade is secure and your school's name is on the unit.

Summer Maintenance
Our staff clean and redress any equipment they can access during the summer. If you have Smartboards, data-projectors or electrical plugs that need repair, please gather all equipment in one room. Notify us, and will will notify Facility Services to leave that room alone until we are through.
