<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>Last Friday, after I posted my report I set Ms. Hjelmgren's printer up so that it would print.  The default printer set for the computer was not connected to the computer, in addition to which there were some documents on the queue for that non-attached default computer whose permissions had been set to where they could not be deleted.  I logged in as techco and deleted them and then changed the default printer to that which was connected to the computer.  Ms. Hjelmgren also left before I had finished setting up the printer, but I tested to make sure it worked.  Ms. Morrison never got back to me, so I'm assuming that her printer is also working.

On Monday I spent some time working on the computer which had been displaying the error message "Alert, chipset heat sink not detected."  I had a skrewdriver and was able to remove the hard-drive panel and get to the chipset heat sink.  It was being held in by a spring-like, bent peice of metal that hooked into two (what I will call) u-pins, one of which had popped out of the motherboard and was loose in the machine.  So, I did what was possibly the least prudent thing I could have done and just pushed it back into the holes from which it had poped out of and then hooked the piece of metal back into it and closed the computer back up.  It worked.  I was pleased.

Then, I informed Ms. Coleman that I would like to show her the website some time. and proceeded to work on nit-picky things on the website.

Today I spent about an hour trying to determine what was wrong with a different computer(Dell "optiplex sx280") in the lab with no success.  The computer will not tern on.  It had been noisy, but it stopped making noise while I was working on it.  I tried all of four other hard drives, checked the power cable and just made sure that there wasn't anything else obviously wrong with it.  When the power button is pressed it(the power button) starts blinking amber and nothing is displayed on the moniter.  Then I checked on a computer that had been having problems in the library (another Dell) and was surprized to find that it seemed to be working fine.

I had meant to edit this last Friday, but forgot.  I did talk to Ms. Coleman and she approved the web-site.  Also I'm checking on the laptops to let Mr. Triplett know how many are working so he can use them for his class.
