REMINDER: SHUT DOWN LAPTOPS WHEN RETURNED

Just a quick reminder to ALWAYS check that laptops are shut down completely when they are returned before putting them back in the cabinet. When they are stored while turned on, even in sleep mode, they easily overheat and then cannot be used until they cool down and charge again.


Check EVERY LAPTOP, EVERY TIME and make sure it is OFF, not just in sleep mode. 

  • On the Macs this is pretty obvious - but you can double check by moving the mouse around to see if the screen comes on. 
  • On the PCs, sleep mode can be deceiving - look at the power button and if it is slowly lighting up blue and then going off again, the laptop is ON and asleep; you will need to push the power button to bring it out of sleep mode, login and then shut down the computer using the Start menu in the lower left corner of the screen.
Let Kaitlyn know if you have any questions.
