What We Diagnose and Repair
Different failures can look alike from the outside. Here is what we check when investigating this specific type of problem.
Temperature and Performance Diagnosis
Thermal throttling can make a healthy processor seem slow. We evaluate symptoms and cooling response rather than rely on noise alone.
Cleaning and Thermal Maintenance
Where appropriate, we remove dust and renew the model-specified thermal interface. Some models require special materials.
Fan Replacement and Reassembly
If a fan has failed or airflow is poor despite cleaning, we identify the part and quote replacement.
Signs This Service May Be Needed
- Laptop becomes too hot to use comfortably
- Fan runs loudly or makes grinding and rattling sounds
- Computer slows down during gaming or video calls
- Unexpected shutdowns occur during demanding tasks
- Air vents have visible dust or little airflow
Before bringing the device in
Keep air vents unblocked. If the fan is making grinding sounds or the computer shuts down from heat, stop intensive use until the cooling system is assessed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does replacing thermal paste fix every overheating laptop?
No. A seized fan, blocked vents or unrelated power problem may cause similar issues. We check the actual fault.
Do you clean MacBook fans?
We assess MacBooks and Windows laptops; cleaning and thermal work depend on the exact model and construction.
Can overheating slow a laptop down?
Yes. Thermal throttling reduces performance to help protect hardware. Diagnosing airflow and heat transfer can identify the cause.
Is fan cleaning the same as fan replacement?
No. A working fan may only need cleaning; a damaged motor or bearing may require a new fan.
What does the diagnosis cost?
Diagnostics are free for accepted devices. Any cleaning, paste or parts work is quoted before approval.
