Gateway Technical College’s student chapter of dig.IT will hold its popular public computer repair clinic Oct. 17-18 in Room 102 of the Conference Center on the Racine Campus, 1001 S. Main St.

Those interested in the clinic should use the northeast entrance (Door 21) off of Pershing Blvd., near the skate park.

Computer and device check-in will be held from noon to 8 p.m. Oct. 17. Computer pickup will be 10 a.m. to noon Oct. 18 in Room 102 of the Conference Center on the Racine Campus. Computer owners will receive a text or call when their device is ready.

The clinic is a fundraiser for the student Information Technology club. Participants are encouraged to contribute $20 for each computer or device worked on. A cleaning service may be requested for a separate contribution.

Computers will be accepted for repair on a first-come, first-served basis until capacity is reached. As of October 14, Windows 10 will no longer be secure. Bring your PC to the clinic to be upgraded to Windows 11. 

Students can assist with the following:

  • Update PC operating systems.
  • Check for viruses and malware.
  • Diagnose internet connectivity issues.
  • Optimize computer function.
  • Perform Windows upgrades (if computer hardware is compatible).
  • Install hardware provided by the customer.
  • iOS updates on iPhone and iPad.
