Sony, Toshiba & Legacy Brands Laptop Overheating & Fan Repair in Virar West

Step-by-step from Virar West

1. Step 01

   Baseline temperature measurement

   We record idle and full-load CPU and GPU temperatures, fan speed and clock throttling before touching anything. This becomes the "before" half of your report. We confirm the exact Sony, Toshiba & Legacy Brands model before ordering any part, so what goes back in is a genuine match.

2. Step 02

   Full teardown

   Bottom panel, board and heatsink assembly removed. This is the only way to reach the dust mat on the exhaust side of the fins — compressed air from outside pushes it deeper.

3. Step 03

   Ultrasonic heatsink cleaning

   The heatsink and fan are cleaned ultrasonically so the fins are genuinely clear, then dried thoroughly before reassembly.

4. Step 04

   Fan inspection and lubrication

   Bearing checked for wear and play. Serviceable fans are cleaned and lubricated; worn ones are quoted for replacement with the reason explained.

5. Step 05

   Premium compound and correct pads

   High-conductivity thermal compound applied in the right quantity, and thermal pads replaced at the correct thickness on the VRM, memory and graphics power stages.

6. Step 06

   Vent and intake clearing

   Bottom intake grilles and exhaust vents cleared, and internal dust filters cleaned or replaced where the model has them.

7. Step 07

   Load testing and proof

   A one-hour stress test on CPU and GPU together, with the after-temperatures recorded and both graphs shared with you.

8. Step 08

   Fan curve tuning

   Where the model permits it, we set a more sensible fan curve so the cooling responds before the machine is already hot. No extra charge. Collection from Virar West is typically 25–40 minutes from your call.
