Diagnose
What’s wrong with your gaming laptop?
Pick the closest match for quick checks you can try first, and the right next step.
Needs the bench
Overheating, loud fans or throttling
Try this first
- Use it on a hard, flat surface. Beds, couches and laps block the intake vents.
- Plug in the charger and pick the performance mode in the laptop's control app.
- Watch CPU and GPU temperatures with a monitoring app while you play.
Bring it in if it still runs hot, a fan grinds or rattles, or it shuts off mid-game. Dust, dried thermal paste and worn fans need the bench.

Needs the bench
Black screen or no display
Try this first
- Unplug the charger, hold the power button for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and try again.
- Connect an external monitor to see whether the laptop itself is starting.
- Note any lights, beeps or fan noise when you press power.
Bring it in if the screen stays black, or an external monitor works but the built-in screen doesn't. That points to the panel, its cable or the graphics.

Needs the bench
Cracked screen, lines or flicker
Try this first
- Stop pressing on the damaged area; pressure spreads cracks.
- Note whether the lines or flicker change when you move the lid.
- Back up your files while the screen still works.
Bring it in if the panel is cracked, shows lines or dead areas, or flickers. Gaming laptops use specific panels and refresh rates, so we match the part to your model before quoting.

Needs the bench
Dead keys, spills or RGB out
Try this first
- After a spill, power it off right away, unplug the charger and don't turn it back on.
- Try an external keyboard to rule out software.
- If only the lighting stopped, update the laptop's lighting or control app.
Bring it in if keys still fail, or anything was spilled on it. Liquid can reach the board under the keyboard.

Needs the bench
Loose, cracked or stiff hinge
Try this first
- Open and close the lid from the middle, not from one corner.
- Stop forcing it if the lid creaks, separates or the screen frame lifts.
- Look for cracks near the hinge mounts and the bottom case.
Bring it in if the hinge is loose, cracked or getting harder to move. Waiting usually damages the housing and the screen cable too.

Needs the bench
Won't charge, battery or charging port
Try this first
- Try another outlet, and check the charger's cable and plug for damage.
- Use the original charger; many gaming laptops need its full power to charge while gaming.
- Note whether the charging light turns on and whether the plug feels loose.
Bring it in if it won't charge, the plug is loose, the battery drains fast or looks swollen. Stop using a laptop whose battery is swelling.

How it works
From problem to pickup.
Stage 1: Tell us
Pick a symptom and book, call, or walk in with the laptop and its charger.
Stage 2: Evaluation
We open it up and find the actual fault.
Stage 3: Approve the estimate
You get a written estimate. Nothing chargeable starts until you approve.
Stage 4: Repair
We do the work at the shop and test it before pickup.
Stage 5: Pickup
We walk you through what we did and what to watch for.
Before you bring it in
Know before you go.
Bring the charger
Many gaming laptops use a high-wattage charger, and we need it to test the repair.
Back up first
Save game files and captures that aren’t in the cloud, and keep your BitLocker recovery key handy if you use one.
Parts by model
Screens, keyboards, fans and hinges are model-specific. We confirm availability and timing on the estimate.
Diagnostics
Most standard in-store repairs include a free initial evaluation and written estimate. Advanced diagnostics, data recovery, onsite visits, expedited work, or disassembly-intensive cases may require a fee, which is disclosed before chargeable work begins.
Warranty
Qualifying repairs include a 90-day limited warranty on the covered parts and labor. Coverage varies by service and part and excludes unrelated failures, accidental or liquid damage, misuse, and customer-supplied parts. The written work order controls if its terms differ.
Timing
Same-day service is available for many eligible repairs when the required parts and technician capacity are available. Complex repairs, data recovery, board-level work, and special-order parts can take longer; the shop provides a case-specific estimate after evaluation.

Gaming laptop questions
Quick answers before you bring it in.
Still have a question?
Talk to a real person at our West Palm Beach shop.
Why does my gaming laptop get so hot?
Gaming laptops pack a fast CPU and GPU into a thin case. Over time dust clogs the fans and fins and the thermal paste dries out, so temperatures climb and the laptop slows itself down. A cooling service usually brings it back.
Is there a diagnostic fee?
Most standard in-store repairs include a free initial evaluation and written estimate. Advanced diagnostics, data recovery, onsite visits, expedited work, or disassembly-intensive cases may require a fee, which is disclosed before chargeable work begins.
Can you replace a high-refresh gaming screen?
Yes. We match the panel to your model, including its refresh rate and connector, and confirm availability and timing on the written estimate before ordering.
Can I upgrade the memory or SSD?
Often. Many gaming laptops have an open M.2 slot and some have memory slots; others have memory soldered to the board. We check your exact model first.
I spilled a drink on it. What should I do?
Turn it off right away, unplug the charger, don't turn it back on, and bring it in as soon as you can. Drying it out on its own doesn't stop corrosion on the board.
Do you repair game consoles?
Not at this time. We work on gaming laptops and gaming PCs.
Let’s get your laptop back in the game.
