Even though the holidays are over, the spirit of giving back remains strong across our company! We recently donated 60 Microsoft Surface Laptops to @CFS_Alberta to be reused. ♻️ #GrahamCares #GivingBack #Community #Giving #ESG #Sustainability #Environment #Technology #Laptops

Step 1: Remove the Screen case using a spudger. Unscrew the Screen using a Phillips screwdriver. Step 2: Delicately disconnect the LCD cable from the back of the screen. Step 3: Gently connect the LCD cable to the new screen and screw everything back in its place. #techtip #diy

A Motherboard is a component made of fiberglass, with lanes of copper where all of your PC components are mounted. It is like the land underneath your hometown, all the roads allowing data to travel between components, controlled by the CPU. #TechTerms

RAM (Random Access Memory) is one of the first things people look for in their dream computer. Think of RAM as something similar to your own short term memory! It's used to store programs and data while they're in use, and either erased afterward or moved to the HDD. #TechTerms

We've all heard someone refer to a USB (Universal Serial Bus). USB is a standard that helps ensure a connection will always work between devices made by different companies. What are some devices in your house that use USB?
