Most overheating fix jobs in Edinburgh City Centre are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in EH1 — Princes Street, George Street, the Royal Mile — and keep you updated by message until the laptop is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH1 postcode area. That includes Princes Street, George Street, the Royal Mile, the Old Town, the New Town, Grassmarket, and the rest of central Edinburgh. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
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 Edinburgh City Centre: Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Acer, Toshiba, MSI, Razer, Microsoft Surface, and more.

Yes, but the damage is usually gradual and reversible if caught early. Edinburgh City Centre laptops we see with overheating typically have: clogged dust-filled fans (the #1 cause), thermal paste that's dried into chalk after 3+ years, or heat pads that have hardened and stopped contacting the board. Done before damage sets in, a strip-and-clean reverses everything. Left for years, you can lose the GPU or the CPU outright.
Full strip, clean, and re-paste. For Edinburgh City Centre laptops the process is: remove keyboard or bottom panel, take out the heatsink assembly, vacuum the fan blades and the heat exchanger fins (this is where the dust packs solid), clean off old thermal compound from CPU and GPU dies, apply fresh compound, replace any old heat pads. Reassemble and bench-test. Typical effect: 10–20°C cooler, near-silent under light load.
Yes — gaming PCs especially. Higher TDP parts plus high case airflow means more dust ingress and more thermal stress. For Edinburgh City Centre gaming rig owners we recommend a clean and re-paste every 12–18 months. Our gaming-PC service includes: dust extraction throughout the case, fan and radiator cleaning, CPU/GPU thermal paste refresh, AIO/pump check, and cable airflow tidy. Result: noticeably quieter operation and better sustained boost clocks under load.
