Hi, Peter,

My mom works for the West Contra Costa County School District. The district is decommissioning hardware and software for the Leapfrog Leap Pad system. There are 30 non-working tablets. My mom suspects the styluses need attention. She can show someone how to do this, but she doesn't have the time to do it herself. These tablets and probably many more would then be available (with accompanying hard- and software) for donation to an NGO or other after-school program. The set-up just requires one Windows XP computer per classroom.

Is this something Fixit Clinic could help with? We don't know who might need this system, but my mom says it's a good learning methodology. Without repair and a donation recipient, a few classrooms worth of stuff will become e-waste.

Thanks for your consideration,

Jon Lowe
