Common Symptoms
Recognise any of these? Walk in and we'll diagnose and fix it on the spot.
MacBook Extremely Hot to Touch
Bottom case uncomfortably hot during normal tasks — thermal paste degraded or fan not spinning at correct speed.
Fan Running at Full Speed Constantly
Loud fan noise even during light tasks like web browsing — fan working overtime to compensate for poor thermal transfer.
MacBook Throttling / Running Slowly
System feels sluggish especially during intensive tasks — CPU/GPU throttling to protect itself from heat damage.
Random Shutdowns Under Load
MacBook shuts down without warning during video, gaming, or compiling — thermal protection triggering emergency shutdown.
Fan Making Grinding or Rattling Noise
Unusual fan noise in addition to overheating — fan bearing failing and should be replaced before causing further damage.
