Hardware Repair & Upgrade in Lacey - for all computer types
Do you need computer hardware upgrade and repair services?
What is hardware?
Any piece of physical IT or tech equipment is generically called hardware. Computers, All-in-Ones, laptops, servers, peripherals, and other IT devices are made of hardware parts that work together. The failure or malfunctioning of any of the hardware parts will cause issues with the device.
IT hardware examples:
motherboard, Mac logicboard, CPU (processor), RAM (memory), HDD (hard disk drive storage), SSD (solid state drive storage), M.2 drive, NVMe drive, fan, power supply, speakers, charger, cable, adapter card, keyboard, mouse, touchpad, graphics card.
Can hardware be repaired?
Some hardware parts can be repaired. Most often though, hardware repair is actually hardware replacement.

CPU Overheating Issues
The CPU generates lots of heat. A good temperature for a CPU is around 60 degrees Celsius, 80 degrees being the highest it should have to bear.
With specialized software, you can monitor the CPU temperature and act before problems occur.
But if you feel the heat with your hand, you are experiencing overheating and have to act quickly.
How to Solve an Overheating Issue
The cause of overheating may be:
- debris or dust in the fan(s) - fans need cleaning
- fan(s) not working properly - fans need repairing or replacing
- thermal paste old and inefficient - old paste must be removed, and new paste applied.

Dusty, Dirty, or Obstructed Fans Might Cause Overheating
If your laptop is experiencing overheating, acting now to fix the issue might save it from a fast death. Overheating can greatly damage internal components. Overheating is often caused by a fan not working properly or by debris obstructing the air flow within the laptop case.
Dust is the laptop's number one enemy. It accumulates in the air vents or around the laptop CPU and it can damage the entire system.
Next to dust, hair and grime are also responsible for blocking the airflow inside the laptop case, and especially inside the laptop or computer fan.
