Technology Support
Most sound and camera issues can be fixed with a hard shut down. If you are having technical problems ALWAYS start with a hard shutdown of the device first.
How to Shutdown Your Computer Video
If that doesn’t work you can contact the Help Desk or the school.
Technology Help Desk: 828-255-5987 (8:00 AM - 3:30 PM, Monday-Friday)
If busy, email helpdesk@bcsemail.org from your phone or a personal computer.
If all else fails between the hours of 8:00am-3:00pm, call the school (828) 654-1785 and ask for Ms. Griner or Mrs. Fore.
Remember that your 1:1 device has frequent software updates. This causes the computer to have a black screen, blue screen, spinning, and restarts on its own. If that is happening plug your computer in and let the updates run. This can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours. If your computer starts an update during class find a way to email your teachers to let them know that your computer was updating. If the update hasn’t gone through try a hard shut down first, then contact the school.
