What should I try myself before submitting an IT Request?
Last Updated 3 years ago
You can always submit an IT Request for help, but we do have a couple of suggestions to try on your own before sending in a ticket. Most of the time these steps, as simple as they may seem, resolve the majority of issues.
- Is it on? Double check that the device you're trying to use is powered on.
- Is it connected? Are all the cords plugged in where they should be as far as you can tell? Is the device plugged into an outlet? Does that outlet work?
- Have you tried turning it off and back on again? Ah, the age-old adage of IT Departments everywhere. But seriously, have you tried restarting?
- Is there a specific error appearing? Does the message give you potential actions to try to resolve your issue? If not, make sure you take note of this error code or snap a picture of it to include in your IT Request.
That's a generic list to start with. If you've gone through this list and still have issues, definitely submit a ticket!
