Supported Hardware

The LITS Call Center will arrange for diagnosing problems and repairs for all COLLEGE OWNED computer equipment. Systems will be replaced with similar equipment if repair is not possible. All systems must be tagged and logged into MHC Computing Inventory system before repairs can be performed. For the repair of personally-owned systems we will be happy to provide you with a listing of local dealers.
