The Trinidad and Tobago Computer Society (TTCS) has refurbished and delivered over 200 computers over the past few months to various schools and students to continue education being done online due to COVID-19.

Working with Restore a Sense of I Can (RSC), we received and refurbished over 170 computers. We have also refurbished and delivered 30 computers directly to students and schools in need using machines, parts and financial donations made directly to the TTCS.
Refurbishing computers involves several steps :
- cleaning computers (lots of dust to remove!)
- testing hardware if it works and troubleshooting when they don’t work ; often CMOS batteries in many machines required replacing
- installing Solid State Drives – many machines didn’t have hard drives so the TTCS has been using funds donated to TTCS to get such SSDs
- installing Windows 10 for those computers that could run Windows 10. On other machines, we’ve installed Q4OS , a Linux distro.
- Installing the latest Windows updates, drivers, BIOS updates and installing some Free and Open Source Software for Windows
- Delivering computers to RSC and to persons all over Trinidad.
We want to continue helping students by refurbishing as many computers as we can..here’s how YOU can help :
