Laptop overheating

If you live in Plymouth, Ivybridge or Tavistock and your computer is overheating it can cause very serious problems.  You may notice that your keyboard or the surrounding areas of your laptop computer to be very hot.  You may notice that the fan inside the laptop is making a lot more noise than it normally would.  Or in the worst case your laptop just turns off without any warning.  If your laptop computer suddenly turns off it may cause damage to essential operating system files and you may lose data that you were working on such as a word processor document for example.  It is a very serious problem that requires immediate attention for your laptop computer.  Whether you live in Plymouth, Ivybridge or Tavistock we will fix it for you.

The cause of your laptop computer overheating is either a faulty fan or the air ejection duct is clogged up with fluff.  This must be repaired as soon as possible as the central processing unit or graphics processing unit will overheat to very high temperatures thus causing the shutdown.  This could cause lasting damage to your laptop computer if it isn't repaired.

Some companies in Plymouth, Ivybridge and Tavistock won't replace a faulty fan or clean out an air duct as it often involves stripping the laptop down to its last screws.  We will do it for you though.  You may be lucky as your laptop fan and air duct may be easily accessible so that we could do the repair there and then unless the fan needs replacing and we would have to order one for you.

The best way to protect your laptop computer from overheating is to always use it on a flat, hard surface.  You shouldn't use your laptop on a carpet or on a duvet in bed as the fan will suck in fluff clogging up the air duct and also not allow a steady flow of air to cool the processing units down.  The most common repair we do in Plymouth, Ivybridge or Tavistock is laptop related.
