Description

Forest Fixers at The Mill

Laptop upgrade session – booking essential

Laptop running slow and you wish it would run faster?

We will be offering a laptop upgrade session on 22nd August 2023. This will cover:

  • opening and cleaning your computer
  • finding the RAM slots and how to add more RAM memory
  • finding the hard drive and how to replace it with a Solid State Drive
  • ordering the necessary parts online

There will be a follow up session for those who have got the parts and do not want to carry out the process at home on their own.

For the session you will need to bring:

  • A laptop
  • A phone or other device with internet and a camera
  • Paper and pen if that is how you like to take notes
  • if you have them, small brushes (makeup brushes and the ones you get with hair dying kits are ideal)

If you happen to be a bit of a whizz at upgrading computers yourself, please feel free to come along and help others out at the session!

Forest Fixers

Welcome to Forest Fixers.

We hold repair cafes and we have a repair club which meets a couple of times a month.

Forest Fixers' Repair Cafes

This is where people bring their small electrical items (toasters, lamps, radios etc) so that we can help you fix them. Please note that we have stopped using Eventbrite for booking for the time being. We will indicate how to book on the page for each event. If there's nothing there, it's because we haven't opened the booking yet. We look forward to welcoming you at one of our cafes where one of our fixers will help you fix your gadget or small appliance (sorry no microwaves).

If you are a fixer and would like to come and fix with us at a repair cafe, just let us know by selecting the RSVP button on the event page or drop us a line at the email address below.

Forest Fixers' repair clubs

These are skill-sharing (and sometimes training) sessions for people who want to help out at our repair cafes and would like to upgrade their skills. Everyone from beginners to experts welcome! You can bring your own tools or use ours. All repair clubs take place on a Tuesday from 6:30pm - 9pm. You are welcome to come to just part of the session. Please book by selecting the RSVP button for the sessions you would like to come to or drop us a line at the email address below.

Our main base is at:

The Mill

7-11 Coppermill Lane

London E17 7HA

The nearest station is St James Street (Liverpool Street to Chingford Line), which is just round the corner from The Mill

or a 12 minute walk from Walthamstow Central (Victoria Line) or Queens Road (Barking to Gospel Oak Line).

There is plenty of cycle parking right outside The Mill
