LeMarchand Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Did the parent at least acknowledge their child had broken the laptop? No - it was returned as "faulty". I didn't delve deeply into event viewer or anything like that, but it looked as if its prime use had been to play Roblox.
victory2015 Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 sorry to ask this again as i know its been asked - anybody have COMPUTACENTER (UK) LTD resellers number-- they aren't answering, and i at least want to get these in ASM before they disappear Many thanks and hobnobs in advance i need this also, did you find out?
gmonks Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I put in a support ticket 10 days ago and another 6 days ago regarding 2 faulty Geobooks and haven't heard anything back. Very very frustrating.
Rob446 Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 You need to email the [email protected] email address. Be aware they are taking an extremely long time to reply! Has anyone gone direct to Dell/HP instead of through here?

Cazale Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 I'm more surprised they have the power to run malware than I am that they have malware on them. 4
Rob446 Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 So glad we got chromebooks We got Windows machines from Dell, but ten of our 115 allocation were in boxes marked "Chromebook". Random.
Sonic007 Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I've found several of the DELL Windows 11" laptops need restarting about 3 times before they start to respond otherwise they are very sluggish. Others I've had were fine.
MrBitey Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Just finished enrolling our Chromebooks. Had to do it at home as I am Isolating so front room is full of boxes! Very impressed with them though. HP units - dead simple to set up! I am also very pleased that went for these rather than the Win 10 option! Just waiting for the Head to come and pick them up now...
LeMarchand Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 I've just set up the Chromebooks at one site. They got Samsungs that seemed to not need (m)any updates, so pretty quick. Still not as quick at the W10 machines at another site, which we left "as is" - so nothing for me to do.
enjay Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Still not as quick at the W10 machines at another site, which we left "as is" - so nothing for me to do. We decided to install Office applications rather than eat data bandwidth with Office365 online, but other than that, we did nothing. This meant we managed to have a laptop ready for collection less than 20 minutes after it was approved!
paulellam Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Wondering if anyone has been successful with a request for more devices via the DFE request system? We are inundated with requests for devices and have given out everything the school has that can be used.

This meant we managed to have a laptop ready for collection less than 20 minutes after it was approved! We did the same, also installed Google Chrome and Sophos A/V
keyboards Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 I randomly on Friday got an email telling us we've been assigned another eight devices for one of our schools, I'd never applied for more, bit confused
Steve21 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 I randomly on Friday got an email telling us we've been assigned another eight devices for one of our schools, I'd never applied for more, bit confused Were those the Y12/13 ones? The schemes been extended to cover them so everyone got extra allowance (there should be another increase this week coming through too due to extended lockdowns) Steve
Scifigirl Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Just had a HP 250 G7 returned to us, as it kept falling off the home wifi Now in school for a look and the wireless driver is completely gone - and its locked down so i can't re-install it-- anyone else have this?
enjay Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Now in school for a look and the wireless driver is completely gone - and its locked down so i can't re-install it-- anyone else have this? You can download a list of the local admin passwords from http://computacenterprod.service-now.com 2
enjay Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 Does anyone know how much extra data parents get when you apply for the uplift via DfE website?
