The Oberlin Technology Store can recycle used alkaline and lithium batteries from your electronic devices (laptop, cell phone, camera, etc, no car batteries) and empty ink cartridges (no laser toner cartridges). Bring these items to Mudd Level A, and we'll recycle them in an environmentally sound manner.

We also now take old computers and other electronic equipment. You must wipe your own hard drive of all personal data before bringing it to the Tech Store or the Help Desk, Level A Mudd.

MPC files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
MPC Corporation, which purchased the Gateway business and education division in 2007, filed for bankruptcy in November 2008.*

For some time, we have had major problems getting repairs and parts from MPC for Gateway computers purchased from the Oberlin Technology Store by the College as well as by students, faculty and staff. With this latest news, it is clear the problems will not be resolved.

Because we cannot get parts, we are unable to perform repairs on any Gateway computers, either laptops or desktops, personally or institutionally owned. We can no longer accept these machines at the Help Desk. The Technical Services Center in the Academic Commons can still assist with software problems and in diagnosing hardware issues, but will not have access to parts for repairs.

We are able to provide batteries and power adapters through the Technology Store.

These companies claim to provide parts for Gateway/MPC computers:

http://www.skyline-eng.com/

We understand and deeply regret the difficulties this may cause our customers.

* Please note that the Gateway brand name and separate consumer division were purchased by Acer. Gateway-branded machines you see in Best Buy, etc, are a different product.

If you don't see a product at our Store, we may be able to order it for you, or you can check our online vendors (see links at left). In-store pricing is generally best!
