For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in EH22 — High Street, Eskbank Road, Newbattle Road — and keep you updated by message until the laptop is back with you.

All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We repair every major laptop brand in Dalkeith: Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface, and more.

Yes — sustained overheating shortens component life and, in extreme cases, causes immediate failure. The most common damage we see on Dalkeith laptops: thermal-throttled CPUs (slow but not broken), GPU solder joints fatiguing on older models, dried thermal paste leaving zero conductivity, and bulging capacitors near hot zones. The fix is usually preventative — clean fans, fresh paste, sometimes new heat pads — done before damage progresses. Cheap insurance vs. a motherboard replacement.
We strip the laptop down to the heatsink, vacuum and brush out the fan and exhaust grille (where most of the dust accumulates), wipe off the old thermal paste, apply fresh high-quality compound (Arctic MX-4 or similar), and replace any heat pads that have hardened. For Dalkeith customers it's typically a 1–2 hour bench job. Result: temperatures drop 10–20°C under load, fan noise drops noticeably.
Yes — even more than office machines. Gaming PCs in Dalkeith typically run higher TDP CPUs and GPUs, accumulate dust faster (more case airflow = more debris drawn in), and benefit from preventative service every 12–18 months. We clean radiators, replace fan filters, refresh thermal paste on CPU and GPU, and check pump operation on AIO/loop-cooled rigs. For air-cooled towers it's faster; AIOs and custom loops take longer.
