Slow, hot, or cracked

A tune-up is $35 when the laptop still works but feels worse than it used to. I clean it up, fix the startup junk, and remove malware and adware. If you'd rather start over, a fresh Windows install is $45, with your files backed up and put back.

A loud fan or a keyboard that gets hot is usually dust. A fan clean is $35. A cracked or dead screen is $45 plus the part for most Windows laptops. A battery that dies in a lecture is $40 plus the part.

Need it faster instead of just fixed? RAM or an SSD is $25 plus the part, and I move Windows and your files to the new drive. Bringing one part for me to install is $20. Bringing a whole set of parts for a custom build is $60, including Windows and drivers.
