An overheating laptop isn’t just uncomfortable—it can slow performance, damage internal components, and even shorten your device’s lifespan. At Boston Mobile Phone Repairs, we regularly see laptops come in with heat-related issues that could have been prevented.

Here’s what you need to know.

šŸ”„ Common Causes of Laptop Overheating

  • Blocked air vents and dust buildup

  • Running too many heavy applications

  • Faulty cooling fan or thermal paste

  • Using laptop on soft surfaces (beds, couches)

  • Old or failing battery generating excess heat

āœ… How to Cool Down Your Laptop

1. Clean the Vents

Dust and debris restrict airflow. Use compressed air to clean vents and fans.

2. Check Background Processes

Too many programs running can overload the CPU. Close unused apps.

3. Use a Cooling Pad

External coolers help maintain airflow during long sessions.

4. Update Drivers and Software

Sometimes, outdated drivers can cause the system to overheat.

5. Check the Fan

If the fan isn’t spinning or makes noise, it might need replacing.
