Fan replacement
A faulty laptop fan can make screeching or grinding sounds, stop spinning, or fail to be detected by the system. Replacing it helps restore proper airflow and protects your laptop from heat damage.

We source and fit a suitable replacement fan for your laptop model where available.
We test fan operation and temperatures after reassembly before returning your laptop.

Why it matters
Dust buildup on the fan and heatsink, along with old thermal paste, can reduce heat dissipation, causing the fan to work harder and increasing GPU and CPU temperatures. Higher temperatures can lead to thermal throttling during gaming or demanding workloads.
Fan and heatsink cleaning with thermal paste replacement every 1-2 years, as a general preventive measure, can help the cooling system perform optimally and reduce strain on the fan.
What is included
We clean dust and debris from the fan, heatsink, vents, and accessible internal surfaces.
We remove degraded paste and apply suitable new paste to the CPU and GPU where required.
We reassemble the laptop carefully and check fan operation, temperatures, and overall performance.
