Laptop overheating repair in Barrackpore

Laptop overheating is usually dust-blocked vents, dried thermal paste, a failing fan or a heavy load. A cleaning and thermal service at Byte Sherlock is ₹999, with temperatures shown on the invoice; board-level faults are quoted after diagnosis.

Warning signs

• The fan runs loud or constantly, even when idle.
• The keyboard or the area above the keyboard gets too hot to touch.
• The laptop throttles: games or apps slow down after a few minutes.
• It shuts down or restarts under load.
• You smell hot plastic or see a swollen battery.

Common causes

Cause	What happens	Fix
Dust-blocked vents and fan	Air cannot move through the heatsink	Internal cleaning ₹999
Dried thermal paste	Heat cannot transfer from the CPU/GPU	Thermal service ₹999
Failing fan	Noisy, slow or stopped fan	Fan replacement, part at cost +10%
Heavy load / blocked vents	Hot air is trapped by a bed or cushion	Use on a hard surface; check airflow
Board-level fault	Short or failing power delivery	Quoted after diagnosis

What we check

1. Idle and load temperatures, fan RPM and throttling behaviour.
2. Vent and heatsink blockage, fan condition and bearing noise.
3. Thermal paste condition and heatsink contact.
4. Battery swelling and charging behaviour.
5. Power draw and board-level faults if the temperatures stay high after service.

What you can do now

• Back up important files before any service.
• Stop using it on a bed, cushion or lap; use a hard, ventilated surface.
• Do not open a laptop that is still under warranty; check the brand terms first.
• Do not “fix” it by blocking the fan or running it in a fridge — condensation can damage the board.

Is it urgent?

Yes if it shuts down, smells hot, or the battery looks swollen. A swollen battery is a safety issue: stop using it and bring it in. Heat also shortens the life of the CPU, GPU, battery and storage.

My laptop fan is loud but it is not hot. Is that a problem?

A loud fan can be a worn bearing, a blocked heatsink or an aggressive fan curve. We check RPM, temperatures and airflow before replacing anything.
