Computer Services Center – Associated Students

This place is great and resourceful for SJSU students to visit the computer services center. My laptop wasn’t working properly so I went here today to see Jay. Jay was awesome, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about fixing my computer. I heard this place is cheaper than going to Best Buy or other computer service centers off campus.

I go here all the time because it is close to my classes. Most of the time it is an alright experience, print what I need and sprint off to run more errands.
However, the other day I go in to print out about 8 pgs, I ask for help with saving it to a print folder, I wait… and wait… and wait… about 10 mins, after the front desk guy helps out every person behind me…
he then finally has another guy help me out… I ask guy #2 if printing both front and back is cheaper. he replies «yes there is a difference in price» I tell myself «hell yea its worth the wait».
A few mins later I wait in line again… the dude in front of me doesnt have change to pay for his .35 huge page, guy #1 says «just come back later and pay for it.»
C’mon now whos goin to really come back later that day and pay .35?
Then its my turn, instead of being about .80 the guy tells me its like $ 1.90…I tell him wth? guy #2 told me its a price difference? (I only had like $ 1 in change) he says «no» finally after expressing to him my frustration he gives me a break and says «alright just this time.» Im thinking «WTF dude? You let someone walk out with a huge page for free and give me crap for YOUR co worker promising me a different price?»…bull.

This place is awesome!
And cheaper than any other place!

I’m a student at SJSU, and this is definitely the go-​to place for my prints. They’re cheaper than the A.S. Print Shop. Yep. Cool eh?
For your convenience, they also have an abundance of workstations so you can work on homework. Unlike the King Library, there really isn’t a limit on the amount of time you spend at a workstation.
Another cool thing about this place is that they have «experts» who run diagnostics on your computer/​laptop if you run into any problems. The main problem? They’re not experts. I brought a Dell Inspiron 1501 in for repair because I couldn’t go passed the BIOS, but the people there didn’t know what was wrong. I already told them, «It doesn’t go passed the BIOS, and the dianostic they gave me was… «Oh, we don’t know what’s wrong because we couldn’t go passed the BIOS.» Uhhh… duh. On top of this, they never called me to get my computer back. I had to go the next time I had time to hit this place up.
But yeah, other than the geniuses who get paid to not know what they’re doing, this place is fine.

I LOVE COFFEE and it was only a matter of time until I accidentally spilt coffee all over my laptop! After calling around getting quotes including the GEEK Squad which cost $ 30-​$ 200 depending on the damages and time. I found the Computer Services Center at SJSU near the Business building.
I gave them a call and the person who answered the phone told me to order a keyboard from eBay and bring it in. AT and Jack were extremely helpful & friendly. I told them my little story.
Since it was and hour before closing, they offered to exchange my keyboard the same day! I literally waited 15 mins and it was done! Great services! You can also rent laptops for really cheap. I will def go here again. Not a lot of people know about Computer Services Center! Stop keeping it a secret!!! Spread the word.

As one of the founding members (Technician/​Operations Coordinator) who helped build this lab and hired the great folks that kept it going in such a great fashion over the years, I’m proud to give this one stop shop that can do everything and anything in supporting your computing needs the highest marks * * * * *
keep it going…

SJSU has invested intro a great thing… the Computer Services Center upstairs in the Student Union. Take the stairs the SU near the ATM machines and it leads you right to the center.
This place is great because I can’t get things printed or if I need to use a computer. They also have a copy machine. Other services include faxing, and laptop rentals, which Ive done twice. They give pretty decent rentals (Dells, etc). You can rent it for a day fr 5 – 8 bucks, or about 20 bucks for a week. AWESOME :) People there are nice and helpful and theres always a good number of them.
They also offer computer repairs. Ive paid about 30 bucks for my laptop to be repaired after a virus kicked into my laptop :(
Very convenient for SJSU!

If you’re an SJSU student in need of prints, this place is for you!
Why!!!
Because it’s $.05 cents cheaper than the print shop!
I must also say, the atmosphere is nice and the employees are VERY friendly. Don’t be afraid to say hi!
The systems however, are still in need of upgrading. Don’t worry though! They still give you what you need =].

This place is awesome. They’ve got a cool staff who are very outgoing, humorous, and extremely helpful (on their good days. hehe)
The lab itself is alright. I mean, they could use some new carpeting and some blinds for the windows. but other than that. it’s allll gooood.
They recently just upgraded their workstations to dual core PCs w/​plenty of storage for whatever the students need to get some work done.
I have to admit, I am biased since I work here also. (Hi, Gina!!) But that doesn’t change the fact that this lab is seriously a great place to DO WORK! or sometimes. even PLAY. hehe.
But anywho, 5 stars to the ASCSC for their continued service to the students, staff, and faculty!

This place is the bomb! Great service & friendly people.

Admittedly, i am biased since i work here, but i really do feel like this is an untapped resource for san jose state students!
I started working here back in 2005 as a student assistant in the front office. After a few years, i was given the position of student administrative assistant and now work under the IT manager. Its probably the best part-​time job that i’ve ever had. I’ve not only learned so much about computers and technology, but i’ve gained important work experience/​skills and made some great friends in my co-​workers (hey, they taught me how to play counter-​strike and we play basketball every friday after the lab closes… fun, right??)
Anyway, a little about the lab itself. There are over 100 computer stations located in this lab, newly upgraded, and free for matriculated students to do homework or surf the web. In the front of the lab there are about 10 self-​print stations, where students can come in and quickly print out a paper or an assignment, pay and leave.
In addition to the computers located on site, there are also laptops that are available for rental. There are a wide range of laptops available that rent out for $ 20-​$ 30 a week. If you already have a laptop, but it breaks, go ahead and bring it in for repair. The repair service is only $ 35/​hour (VERY good compared to industry prices).
So to all you San Jose State students: the lab is located on the top floor of the student union. come by and take advantage of what your hard earned dollars pay for!
