Educational Equipment Repair Services

Educational Equipment Overview

Teachers, instructors, professors, administrators, and support staff all need access to educational technology in order to help provide the kind of teaching experience that modern students need. And to that end, schools, colleges, and universities make use of many types of specially-designed equipment that’s engineered to benefit both students and educators alike. In the old days, educational technology essentially consisted of an overhead projector, a TV/VCR combo, and a centrally-located copier. Things have changed quite a bit since then, and now schools and educational organizations are leveraging all sorts of technological applications. Having some issues with your educational equipment?

What Are Some Common Issues with Educational Equipment?

What’s true for other types of electronic equipment, is true for educational technology as well – without proper care and maintenance, your educational equipment can break down even sooner. And sometimes even proper maintenance can’t prevent the need for occasional equipment service and refurbishment. Here are common issues we see at AES:

Power surges & power source issues

One current spike or power supply surge is all it takes to wreak havoc on your electronic educational equipment. Protected power strips can help, but sometimes problems can still occur, especially where your sensitive internal components are concerned. If you suspect that a power surge, spike, or lightning strike has impacted your educational equipment, it’s time to give the service pros at AES a call.

Temperature & humidity issues

Many schools and educational institutions make the mistake of keeping their facilities on a timer which turns off the air conditioning on the nights and weekends. They do so in an effort to save operating costs, but they don’t realize the negative effect this practice can have on expensive educational technology. Electronic components contained within educational equipment are both temperature-sensitive and moisture-sensitive. In the event of temperature or humidity extremes, these components can become damaged or even experience failure.

Software issues

In some cases, the equipment hardware may be fine, and the real problems with functionality are all internal. Keeping all software and device drivers updated is an important proactive measure, but glitches can still develop regardless. Some of these may be things you can troubleshoot on your own, but if you get stuck or if the things you’re trying simply aren’t working, feel free to reach out to the AES team for help!

Spills & intrusion of contaminants

Unwanted spills occasionally happen, especially where students (or even teachers) are involved. Liquids are a definite threat to educational technology and electronic devices of all kinds. Other contaminants can infiltrate and shorten the life of electronic components too, including dust, dirt, oils, and chemicals (especially in a science lab). If you’ve got some problematic issues going on with your educational equipment, the AES service experts can help.

Wear-and-tear & equipment fatigue

No matter how well you stay on top of maintaining your educational equipment, eventually some problems can and will still develop over time – especially whenever you’re using your equipment on a daily basis. Even the best technology doesn’t last forever. The good news is that you may not have to bite the bullet on replacing your equipment – in many cases, AES can provide repairs and refurbishment, which will do the trick!

Receipt, Evaluation, & Quote Generation

Once you send your educational equipment to AES, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation of your items, and will then generate a quote describing any and all solutions that may be needed. If you can describe any specific issues you’ve been noticing with your equipment, that will be helpful for our technicians to know, as well. But even if you don’t know what’s wrong exactly, that’s fine – send it on to us anyway! We always strive to get you a repair quote within 48 hours of item receipt.

Testing, Repairs, & Retesting

After you approve the repair quote, we’ll put it on our technician team’s schedule, and then we’ll get right to work! We’ll troubleshoot your educational equipment – including its sensitive internal components & electronic circuitry – and will also conduct some full-load testing. After we’ve completed the necessary repairs and refurbishment, we’ll then retest your equipment under realistic operating conditions to make sure everything really is ready-to-go!

Cleaning & Final Preparations

The repair work itself is finished, but that doesn’t mean we’re finished yet. At AES, we work with sensitive electronic equipment like yours every day, and we know it will work better and last longer for you whenever it’s properly cleaned and maintained. We’ll give it a thorough cleaning inside and out, and we’ll remove any intruded contaminants or residual moisture present.

Quality Assurance Measures & Return Shipping

Before we officially sign off on your educational equipment, we’ll conduct a final round of quality assurance measures. Once those are completed to meet our exceedingly high standards, we’ll carefully prepare your equipment for return shipping, including using proper packaging to keep your items in good shape during transit.
