Your appointment:

 

Collecting a new or reassigned device

If you are a new user you will need to bring your account details to the HAM office, so the team can set up your device.  You will also need to bring details of any additional configuration, such as drives to be mapped, mailboxes etc.

If you are replacing an existing device, you will need to return it at this point.

Handing over a device for repair

You will need to bring your device, (including the charger if applicable), where a member of the Hardware Asset Management team will carry out an initial assessment.  They will ask you a few questions to help diagnose the nature of the issue.

We strongly recommend that you back up your data prior to bringing in your device. If, after diagnosis, the team discover that the issue is hardware related, we may need to wipe it to perform the repair.  You will be notified in advance if this is the case. 

Once your device has been repaired, it will be returned and the team will help or advise on reinstalling any previously installed software or settings.

PLEASE NOTE: DTS are not responsible for backing up your data held on the device however, they will be able to advise on how to do this.  For further information on securely backing up your data, please go to the following link:

If the team are not able to repair your hardware in person, they will arrange a repair by the manufacturer under the devices warranty, which may entail sending your device off campus.

The team will offer you a loan device whilst your device is being repaired, if required. For more information about the repair process please see our repairs page
