Hardware SIG

Melbourne PC User Group Inc.    Australia

:)   :)   :)   See you at the next meeting   (:   (:   (:

Contacts: Convenors. 

The SIG meets on the third Wednesday of each month (except December and January) at 6:00 pm to 9.00pm.
Some of us eat out a local eatery after the meeting.

The Hardware SIG meets to discuss PC hardware from the chip level right through to complete networks.  
We are running 'intensive' hands-on sessions on the 4th Sunday of each month 10.00am to 4.00pm (except December and January) to trouble-shoot and fix or simply advise on Members equipment.   MelbPC members are welcome to bring any hardware related questions to the SIG.

Members are invited to bring their computers to the SIG for information and/or help about hardware and software related problems.  Please bring ALL your hardware and ALL your related documentation AND Software..!  - This will greatly assist everybody concerned.

(Please check the meeting calendar for complete details).
We very occasionally may have a presentation or a guest speaker. A very brief question and answer session is followed by the main emphasis, - the Hardware Clinic.

Please note :- ALL information and hardware assistance is given free of charge, on a best endeavour basis.  We do NOT guarantee that we can fix, or alleviate your particular problem(s). YOU alone accept or reject the information offered and YOU must accept TOTAL responsibilty for the outcome(s).
The discussion part of the session is expected to start at the normal time of 7.00pm but anyone with hardware should try to get there by 6.00pm, if possible.

The earlier time change will enable those with problem systems to setup and get started asap.    Members are invited to bring their questions &/or hardware to our meetings for advice and assistance.  I suggest that any members attending use a supermarket trolley to wheel their equipment into the lift and up to our club rooms.


Sunday Workshop Day:-

We will be also running a Hardware Workshop on the 4th Sunday of every month at the MelbPC Chadstone premises.  (Except December and January..) We aim to give assistance to all members with computer problems. While our focus is on hardware related problems we also find ourselves assisting in software and device driver problems.

Members _MUST_ advise by phone or email if attending.   A brief description of problems and equipment would be appreciated. This will enable extra Volunteers to be pressed into service if needed.  :-)


The Network Room is an ideal location for those members with the older dialup service to bring their systems for a direct connection to the internet so as to use Windows Update more quickly.

A network card is required (most boards include network cards these days) or we can help you fit one if you buy one from any of the Computer Markets etc.
