MPC files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
MPC Corporation, which purchased the Gateway business and education division last year, has filed for bankruptcy.*
http://www.mpccorp.com/about/media/press_releases.html?id=110708_1

For several months, 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:

You can reach MPC at 877-485-1464.
Education dept: 877-894-5695.
Customer service: 800-846-2301.

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.

We Recycle

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.

Did you buy a replacement power adapter for your iBook or Powerbook?
If you purchased a replacement power adapter for certain Apple PowerBook or iBook computers, you could be entitled to cash payment benefits from a class action settlement.

You're a "Class Member" if you are a United States resident who purchased in the United States an Apple PowerBook or iBook computer listed on Exhibit 1 for your own use and not for resale. The settlement only applies to a Replacement Adapter purchased during the first three years following the initial retail purchase of the Subject Computer, and before May 31, 2009.
