Overheating Computer? Let’s Get It Running Again
An overheating computer is never a good sign, and it can cause a series of issues that can leave your beloved device broken. Even though you can run a clogged-up machine for months with seemingly no issues, sooner or later the amount of muck will take over and leave you wondering where you went wrong. This particular gaming computer swiftly died from overheating and had the owner needing an urgent fix. Luckily, one of our tech geeks managed to sort this relatively quickly. Within 2 hours, after a thorough clean inside and out, it was purring like a kitten again just like new.

Can Laptop Screens Be Repaired Easily And Quickly?
It’s so easily done… you put your laptop on the floor for a second, forget it’s there, and step on it… one of the kids decides it’s a stupendously good idea to play Jenga with everything in the living room and suddenly, crash… I think the weirdest one we’ve had so far was someone’s cat knocking a vase off the windowsill straight onto a MacBook and smashing it.

My Computer Is Slow – What Should I Do?
There is nothing more annoying or counterproductive than a slow computer. It holds you back, stopping you from completing the simplest of tasks and leaving you ready to give up on technology.

Corrupted File Recovery (And How To Easily Avoid A Nightmare!)
Sometimes it’s tricky to know if there’s a problem with your laptop or not. Maybe Windows is painfully slow to load, maybe the whole system seems a little sluggish. You’re unsure if it’s just getting old, or if there’s an actual issue. Other times, it’s blindingly obvious not only that there’s a problem, but what the problem is.Take this lovely little purple number that came in recently, which had either inexplicably decided to communicate exclusively in Wingdings (a bizarre font made entirely of characters rather than letters), or it was suffering from a serious case of corruption. The latter was the case, and we ran corrupted file recovery on it to restore the system, but before we did it was looking a little...well...
