About the Computer Hardware Shop

The Computer Hardware Shop is an authorized Apple Service Provider. We can service all Apple hardware, even if you didn't buy it from Reed. If your computer is under warranty then in most cases there will be no charge (unless you dropped your laptop or spilled coffee on your keyboard or something of that sort). If your computer is not under warranty, or the damage is self-inflicted, there will be a charge for repair work:

  • $35 per hour, plus parts
  • Diagnosis is free for the first half hour, unless we have to crack the case
  • Elective surgery, such as RAM upgrades, cleaning, system software installation, and the like, will be charged at the regular hourly rate (no half hour free).
  • AirPort cards and RAM installs are $10.
  • You must pay in full before you can pick up your repaired computer.

We do not provide hardware service for Windows computers (though we will install network cards required to connect your Windows computer to the campus network) or printers. We can also refer you to a local service shop if you don't have a warranty from your PC manufacturer.
