MSI STEALTH GS65 NOISY FAN AND BATTERY NOT HOLDING A CHARGE
Fixing the noisy fan and the dying battery on an MSI Stealth GS65 laptop required a detailed and careful approach to get both the cooling system and the power supply back to working perfectly. When the laptop came in, we quickly confirmed that the cooling fan was making all the noise because the bearing was worn. The cooling fan is crucial for keeping the laptop cool, so we replaced it with a high-quality oem replacement to stop the noise and help it cool properly again. At the same time, we checked the internal battery, which wasn’t holding any charge, and got a compatible replacement that worked with the laptop’s power needs.
To carry out the repair, we had to carefully take apart the laptop, paying special attention to the delicate cooling system. Any bending of the heat pipes would render the entire cooling system useless. At the same time, we carefully removed the battery. We installed the new cooling fan, applied fresh thermal paste to the CPU and GPU to keep things cool, and swapped in the new battery. After putting it all back together, we ran thorough tests to make sure the fan was working correctly and no longer rattling and that the new battery was charging and holding power properly. This step was super important to guarantee the MSI Stealth GS65 would work smoothly without the fan noise and with a reliable battery life.
Once everything was fixed, the laptop was running quietly and the battery problem was sorted, it could now be used for longer without needing to be plugged in all the time. The customer was elated with the clear communication during the repair and how quickly the problems were resolved. The total cost was £160, which included the new fan, the battery, the labour, and the testing. This successful repair didn’t just bring the laptop back to its best performance, but it also highlighted we are Southampton’s best laptop repair shop.
