Warranty service is provided at no charge. However, you will be charged a $50.00 bench fee for a no-trouble-found condition,
and an $80.00 fee for re-installation of system software.
Work on out-of-warranty equipment is charged to your bursar account. Charges include the following:
-
Diagnostic Fee:
$50 covers the evaluation of equipment only. It is applied when you decline further repair or if Hardware Support is unable to
repair the equipment. If you authorize further work, this fee will be waived and repair fees will be applied.
-
General Repair Fee:
$80 covers all general repairs.
-
Parts Cost: replacement parts are billed at cost, as specified by the manufacturer.

Tax: Ohio sales tax will be added to the total bill.
All charges will be billed to your bursar account. Hardware support is authorized to perform warranty service for Apple or
University owned Dell systems only.
All clients will be required to sign a waiver stating that they have backed up their documents prior to bringing their machine
in for repair. Hardware Support is not liable for damage to or loss of data on the hard drive of computer systems brought
in for service. All clients are also responsible for describing all known damage done to a machine.
