If it might be a while before the new ones arrive, I would appreciate it if you could reimage my current laptop, which works better with my office setup than the UCS loaner laptop does (the loaner doesn't work with my dock).

You are welcome to try reimaging the computer if you like. I already cleared the computer of any files I needed to keep. 

I had it reimaged in March, though, and it only resolved the issue temporarily. The battery no longer works at all, so I can put in a purchase request for a replacement if needed.  While I was there dropping off the laptop, one of the techs recommended I try putting in for a new laptop using the Portal so I have also done that . I don't know if you can see those requests, but if that looks like it will go through I will just wait for that.

Thanks! :)

Hi Stewart,

I need some additional information regarding service request #77486

Description: Laptop Issues

From what I understand, the issues are the speed of the computer and the battery. Is this correct?

Would you like me to try reimaging your computer to see if it resolves any problems? If so, are there any files you need to retrieve from the laptop beforehand?

Thank you,

Lauryn Aronson 
UCS Student Tech.

In addition to everything else, the battery for 
this laptop no longer charges as of this 
morning (it shut down the laptop on me halfway 
through a Zoom meeting because I was away from 
a charger for 30 minutes). Do I need to order a 
replacement battery through UCS or through the 
library admin office?

My laptop has been working okay since it was 
reimaged in late March, but in the last few 
days it has started having issues again. It 
regularly loses connection to the wireless 
network and doesn't always connect to the 
internet even if it successfully connects to 
the network, and even with the VPN connected it 
has started to be incredibly slow. This morning 
after a restart it took me about five minutes 
to open up an Excel file located on the I 
drive, and websites are either incredibly slow 
to load or do not load properly at all (for 
example, I lost connection halfway through 
writing this email, despite being still 
connected to the wireless network...). It's 
also taking me about 15 seconds to open a file 
directory, which makes navigating to files a 
very lengthy process. 

A few weeks ago I also had to run diagnostic 
mode on startup because the fan failed to start 
and the computer gave me an error message. The 
diagnostic scan was actually fine and said the 
fan worked, though, and I haven't noticed the 
issue again since, so I don't know if that's 
related or not.

Should I bring the laptop in to have it 
reimaged again? Or is there some other step 
you'd like to take?   The barcode is 20150262[Edit Inv].
