Fan and overheating repair on the Alienware M15
The Alienware M15 is a high-performance gaming machine, so its fans and heatsink work hard and clog quickly. We clean the whole cooling path and replace the thermal paste; on laptops this age a worn fan is common and we replace it.
Parts for a model of this age can be hard to find; we use tested replacements and tell you before ordering.
Gaming loads push these machines hard; a cooling service prevents the overheating that kills graphics chips.
What we do
We strip the cooling system, clean the heatsink and fan, and replace the thermal paste on the processor and graphics chip. A worn or noisy fan is replaced.
Doing this early prevents the heat damage that leads to graphics chip and motherboard failures.
How long it takes. Usually done the same day.
Warranty
This Alienware M15 repair is covered by our 90-day warranty on parts and labour.
