Just a reminder that all faults should be logged with the Matrix Display helpdesk on 0845 26 26 200.  East Lothian Council have a maintenance and repair contract with Matrix and so there will be no charge to schools for call outs and repairs.  And it will be attended to quickly!

If you need a new bulb for your projector, call the Matrix Display helpdesk on the number above (not the council IT Helpdesk)  and an engineer will bring out your new one and install it – no cost for the call out or installation, just for the actual bulb.  The cost of the bulb is subsidised – normally £200, schools will be only be charged £100.  Not only will a new bulb be installed, the engineers will take this opportunity to clean the projector filters which will extend the future life of the bulb.

Is your interactive whiteboard being used to it’s fullest potential?

There’s a new support and maintenance contract in place as of today so you can log a call with Matrix Display to get it fixed.  You will find information here on quick fix solutions before calling the Helpdesk number and some really useful good practice tips on looking after your equipment.  Pass the word on!
