🚨 Xbox Series X saved at Computerworks 🎮

We recently had an Xbox Series X come into the workshop suffering from overheating issues. After opening the console up, we discovered the heatsink was completely clogged with dust — blocking airflow almost entirely and causing the console to struggle with cooling.

A full internal clean was carried out, removing a huge build-up of dust and debris from the fan and heatsink (See photos). The difference was massive! ✅

The console now has proper free-flowing airflow again and is running much cooler and quieter.

If your console is:
• Running hot 🔥
• Loud when gaming 🌪️
• Randomly shutting down ⚠️
• Showing overheating warnings ❌

…it may simply need a professional internal clean.

🚫💻 BUSTING 6 COMMON COMPUTER MYTHS!

Think more RAM always makes your computer faster? Or that Macs don’t get viruses? 🤔

It’s time to separate fact from fiction.

Here are a few myths we hear all the time:
❌ More RAM = instant speed boost
❌ Macs are immune to viruses
❌ You must shut down your computer every night
❌ Antivirus always slows your system down
❌ Deleted files are gone forever
❌ Password-protected public Wi-Fi is safe

The truth? Technology is a bit more nuanced—and believing these myths could actually cost you performance, security, or even your data.

✅ Knowing what’s true (and what’s not) helps you make smarter decisions and keep your devices running smoothly.

🚨 Quick Question for You… 🚨

When was the last time you had your computer serviced? 🤔💻

If you can’t remember… it might be time! Just like your car, your PC needs regular check-ups to stay fast, safe, and reliable.

Here’s why keeping your computer serviced is just as important as servicing your car:

🔧 Prevents Breakdowns – Just like a car service avoids unexpected engine failure, regular PC maintenance helps prevent crashes and system failures.

⚡ Keeps Performance Smooth – A serviced computer runs faster and more efficiently, just like a well-maintained car drives better.

🛡️ Improves Security – Updates and clean-ups help protect against viruses and cyber threats (think of it like keeping your brakes and safety systems in check).

💾 Protects Your Data – Regular servicing ensures backups and reduces the risk of losing important files.

🌡️ Prevents Overheating – Dust build-up can slow things down or cause damage—similar to engine overheating without proper care.

💰 Saves Money Long-Term – Small fixes now can prevent costly repairs later—same as catching car issues early.

Don’t wait for your computer to “break down” 🚗💻

💻🔧 Recent Repair & Upgrade at Computerworks 🔧💻

A customer recently brought in their gaming PC after it suddenly stopped displaying anything on screen — never a great sign for any gamer! 🎮

At first, we suspected the graphics card might be the issue. However, after running full diagnostics, we discovered the real culprit was the motherboard.

Since a replacement was needed, the customer decided to take the opportunity to upgrade rather than go like-for-like — a smart move to boost performance and future-proof their setup 🚀

The result? A refreshed, more powerful gaming machine ready to get back in the action!

If your PC is acting up or you're thinking about an upgrade, feel free to drop by or message us — we're always happy to help 👍

🔥 RTX 3090 Overheating? We’ve Got It Covered.

A customer recently brought in their PC after their RTX 3090 started overheating under load. After opening things up, we quickly spotted the culprit — the thermal paste had completely dried out, preventing proper heat transfer from the GPU.

🛠️ What we did:
• Carefully disassembled the graphics card
• Removed the old, dried thermal paste
• Thoroughly cleaned the GPU die and cooler
• Applied fresh high-performance thermal paste
• Reassembled and stress-tested the card

Once rebuilt, we ran a full GPU stress test at 100% load, and the results were exactly what we wanted — stable temperatures and smooth performance.

While we had the system open, we also repaired a faulty LED strip at the bottom of the case, getting the customer's lighting setup back to full working order.

✅ Result: Cooler GPU, stable performance, and a fully restored RGB setup.

If your system is running hot or not performing the way it should, contact us and we’ll get it running like new again.

🔧 Recent Apple Repair at Computerworks 🍎

We recently had a MacBook Pro in with us that was struggling to hold its charge and also had a failing Time Machine backup.

✅ To resolve the battery issue, we replaced it with a genuine Apple battery — we only recommend and supply original manufacturer batteries to ensure safety, performance, and longevity. This particular MacBook Pro has a glued-in battery, which means the repair takes extra care and time to carefully remove the old battery and adhesive before fitting the new one.

Once the new Apple battery was installed, we also repaired the Time Machine backup, which had been failing for the customer, ensuring their data is once again backing up correctly and reliably.

If your MacBook isn’t holding charge, or your backups aren’t working as they should, feel free to get in touch — we’re always happy to help 😊

🎮 Gaming PC Upgrade Complete at Computerworks! 🔧✨

This gaming PC just got a serious performance boost! Here’s what we upgraded:

🚀 Graphics Card:
Upgraded from a GTX 1650 to a powerful RTX 5060 for smoother gameplay and better visuals.

⚡ Power Supply:
To support the new GPU, we installed a Corsair 650W fully modular power supply — reliable, efficient, and future-ready.

🧠 Memory (RAM):
The system had 8GB RAM, so we recommended and upgraded to 16GB RAM, perfect for the games the user wants to play.

📶 Wireless Card:
Replaced the old wireless card after finding damaged antennas, ensuring a stronger and more reliable Wi-Fi connection.

Another happy upgrade and a PC ready to game at its best! 🎉

⚠️ This £2 subscription SAVED our customer almost £1000 ⚠️

We recently had an HP laptop come into Computerworks that was completely failing to boot. After running through various troubleshooting steps, we discovered the cause: a failed solid state drive (SSD).

As you can imagine, this was a stressful moment for the client — the drive contained very important data. We attempted multiple recovery methods, but unfortunately the SSD wasn’t accessible. The next option would normally be to send the drive to a specialist data recovery centre, which can be very costly.

Before going down that route, we checked something crucial (with the client’s permission): was OneDrive cloud backup enabled?

Luckily, it was. ✅
All the important files were safely backed up to OneDrive.

Many people hesitate at paying around £2 per month for 100GB of cloud storage, but in this case that small cost saved the customer hundreds — potentially close to four figures — in data recovery fees.

We fitted a brand new 500GB SSD, carried out a clean install of Windows 11, and had the laptop ready to restore the backed-up data straight onto the new drive.

📌 Lesson of the day: backups aren’t exciting… until they save you.

If you’re unsure whether your data is backed up, message us and we’ll be happy to check 👍
