Gaming Laptop Repair in Ottawa
ASUS ROG and TUF, Alienware, MSI, Lenovo Legion and Acer Predator. We fix overheating, throttling, screens and batteries, and do upgrades, starting with a free diagnosis.
Free diagnosis · Labour from $40 · Firm quote before any part is ordered
Gaming laptops push a lot of heat through very little space, so most problems come back to cooling: frame rates that collapse after ten minutes, fans at full scream, or a laptop that shuts off mid-game. Add a heavy chassis that stresses hinges and screens, and batteries that live a hard life on the charger.
We work on ASUS ROG and TUF, Alienware, MSI, Lenovo Legion and Acer Predator. That means cooling service, repaste, screen and battery replacement, and SSD and RAM upgrades where the model allows them. If a part is soldered or a repair isn't worth its cost, we say so upfront.
Gaming Laptop Problems We Fix
Overheating and thermal throttling
Fans and heatsinks cleaned, old paste replaced, temperatures verified under load so frame rates hold.
Loud or failing fans
Grinding, rattling or stalled fans replaced before heat damages the GPU or board.
Cracked or dead pixel screens
High-refresh and 4K panels replaced once we've confirmed the exact part. Refresh rate and resolution matter, so we check first.
Battery swelling or short life
Bulging batteries are a safety issue, not just a nuisance. We replace them and check charging behaviour.
Storage and RAM upgrades
Add a bigger NVMe SSD or more RAM to models that allow it, with your games and data moved across.
Won't boot, black screen, no display
GPU or display faults, failed updates and BIOS issues diagnosed before anything is replaced.

Gaming Laptop Repair FAQs
Can you repair an Alienware laptop in Ottawa?
Yes. Screens, batteries, cooling, storage and Windows faults on Alienware are all work we do. Some Alienware parts are proprietary and can take longer to source; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
Why does my gaming laptop's FPS drop after a few minutes?
That's thermal throttling: the CPU or GPU slows itself down to stay cool. It's usually dust, old thermal paste, or a failing fan. A cooling service usually brings the performance back.
Can you upgrade RAM or add an SSD to my gaming laptop?
On most models, yes. A few have soldered memory or limited slots; send the model number and we'll confirm exactly what can be upgraded and what it costs.
Do you repair ASUS laptops?
Yes: ROG, TUF, ZenBook and VivoBook. Screen and battery replacement, cooling service and upgrades.
Is it worth repairing a gaming laptop or should I replace it?
A cooling service or SSD upgrade is often a fraction of a new gaming laptop's price. If the motherboard or GPU has failed and the repair costs more than the machine is worth, we'll say so and help you recover your data.
