Laptop Rental Information

Never shut down using the power button unless absolutely necessary, such as a complete freeze up. This is the primary cause of severe corruption, at best, and many times causes hard drive failure.

Please keep the laptop plugged into the wall/power source as much as possible. You should only use it on battery when necessary.

Touching the LCD screen permanently damages it. Cleaning with any cleaner not specifically designed for LCD screens will also permanently dull the screen. Never use tissues or paper towel to clean a LCD, as the fibers from the wood used in their production will scratch the screen.

Do not install any new programs without asking us first. If you need to install a filter, be aware filters do bug out and it will be your responsibility to have it removed without causes damage to the normal network usage of the computer.

The laptop must be returned in the condition it’s taken. If anything breaks or gets corrupted it is your responsibility to pay for it to be fixed. You must call us first to find out how to proceed, but it’s your responsibility to have it repaired. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the large amount of work involved in removing viruses from the computers, a charge of 50 shekels will be added for any computer returned with a virus without exception. In addition, please do not install anti-virus software without asking us. In the past people have installed bogus anti-virus software which corrupted the entire operating system. All of the systems have up to date antivirus software and need no tampering.

It is not our responsibility to teach you how to use a computer or setup your connection to the internet. We may be able to help, but if we can’t you must still pay for the rental. Please do not call and say we didn't know how to use it but it sat in the closet for two weeks. If you don't return it we can't rent it out.
