Overheating

Overheating may be one of the most common problems we see with laptops here at Chipheads Computer Repair in Richfield. Typically the overheating can be easily handled by investing in a lap desk to allow more ventilation along with cleaning the hardware inside. In some cases, the computer may need a new fan if is starting to fail or already has.

Virus/Malware

Viruses and other malware are common problems for any computer, including laptops. Depending upon the exact infection, a wide range of problems can occur, from annoying pop-ups to missing fails or corrupted hard drives. We recommend having a malware/virus program on your computer that is active and scanning any files you may download/open. If something looks shady, don’t open it either.

Quickly Dying Battery

When you charge and use a battery repeatedly, it begins to wear down, staying charged for shorter periods of time or ultimately not charging at all. From the manufacturer, a new battery can be quite pricey. There are usually perfectly good alternatives you can find at a more affordable price. If you need help locating a battery for your laptop, Chipheads Computer Repair would be happy to help.
