Fan and Overheating Repair
A cooler computer is a happier, longer-lived computer.
Heat is the quiet enemy of every computer. Dust gathers, fans tire, and the paste that carries heat away dries out. An hour of care now can add years to a machine and bring back the quiet.

- A case too hot to touch comfortably
- Slowing down after a few minutes of use
