Andrea,

We had talked with you on Friday about how the
laptop you had been using appears to have a bad
hard drive.  We had discussed how it was not a
generally funded station and thus was not eligible
for replacement.   Here is a few options for the
laptop W#20091448 that was purchased for Bilingual
Teacher Initiative(DOE965) to keep it a usable
laptop.  The cost of any fix or upgrade would need
to be funded by your department or division in
some capacity as this laptop is out of warranty. 

Replace Hard Drive-

    Option #1 Solid State Hard Drive (faster drive
more dependable, especially in laptops that have
jarring movement):
    Crucial M500 240GB 2.5-inch Internal SSD  Part
number: CT3804598  Cost $111.01
        240GB SATA 6Gbps 2.5" Internal SSD ¿ 500
MB/s Read / 250 MB/s Write  upgrade for Apple
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009) system.


    Option #2 standard Hard drive:
    Seagate Momentus Thin HDD 500 GB SATA-300 part
#:ST500LT012   cost $53.99
        2.5" (7mm) ¿ Serial ATA-300 ¿ 5400 rpm ¿
300 MBps upgrade for Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch,
Mid 2009) system.



Other possible upgrade that could help general
performance: RAM-max is 8GB and currently has
4GB(2X2GB)  cost $91.99
Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 PC3-8500 Unbuffered
NON-ECC 1.35V 512Meg x 64part #:CT3309352

Let us know how the department would like use to
proceed with this hardware or if it needs to be
taken out of service and recycled.

Task reassigned to Lori Burgeson.

Computer is incredibly slow.  We will probably
have to re-image the machine.  I called Andrea and
left a VM to try and get more information about
what she updated, also if she has any work saved
locally. 

Computer had an update so she ran the update and
when the computer turned back on, the screen stays
blank.  She can get to the part where she enters
in username and password but it just black outs
every time.  She brought it here and we tried a
wired connection and it does the same thing.  The
computer was also very slow to respond.

She can't ever get onto her profile.  She left the
computer up here at SRD.
