Gaming laptops and custom desktops run hotter and draw more power, so they wear out fans, chargers and charging ports faster.
I work on Alienware, ASUS ROG, Razer, MSI, Lenovo Legion and custom-built desktops.
Drop-off is by appointment. I'm often out on house calls, so please call or text before coming by. On-site visits available.
Loud fans, very hot, slows down or shuts off when busy.

Every price is posted. You get the exact total before any work starts. See all prices
Call or text to set a time. I find out what's wrong.
I explain the problem in plain words and give you the exact total before any work starts.
If I can't fix it, you pay $0.
$45 per device (free during the October offer). It's waived if you go ahead with the repair, and there's no charge if it can't be fixed.
Each price is marked. "Part included" means the price is all-in. "+ part" means I quote the part for your exact model before ordering, so you know the full total before you say yes. You can also bring your own part.
Most repairs don't touch your data. When a reinstall is needed, the "reinstall + data backup" service saves your documents, photos, desktop and bookmarks first and restores them afterward.
