Blow Your Laptop Fan Out Regularly!
running cool and happy. Simply use some compressed air to blow out the fan and heat
sync on the side or rear of the laptop. If you have never done this before, you will be suprised
at the amount of dust that comes out. That dust prevents the heat from being expelled from
the laptop and that heats up everything in the case.
Keep those fans clean!

Easy Virus & Spyware Removal
These symptoms usually mean a virus or spyware infection. However, many people don't know how to begin to remove these infections and that many of the tools necessary are free on the internet. Most of the time, my instructions are NEVER download a free item off the internet, since these are the main culprits of this problem. However, these tools are tried and true and should get you back in business quickly and easily.
The first line of defense is a solid antivirus product. There are many to choose from such as Symantec's Norton and Mcafee. However, there are a few free antivirus products for home users that are just as effective. My choice for home users is Avast! This company provides a product that also removes and detects spyware for free, just offer an email address. They also have a reasonably priced professional version for businesses.
Avast Antivirus
The second line of defense is a spyware scanner and removal tool. Once again, there are many free options available that are just as good, if not better than the pay versions. My choices are below.
Microsoft Defender
SuperAntiSpyware
Lavasoft Ad-Aware
Spybot Search & Destroy
In addition to these programs, there are some infections that remain and require special programs. These programs assist in removing the most stubborn spyware.
Hijack This!
SmitFraudFix
Of course, the use of any of these programs could cause issues beyond the spyware or virus infection. Therefore, its always good to have a complete backup before trying to remove the problems yourself.
Is your computer running slow? Are there pop-ups happening all the time? Perhaps the machine is complaining its low on memory. These symptoms usually mean a virus or spyware infection. However, many people don't know how to begin to remove these infections and that m... Read More

CLASSIC BAIT AND SWITCH
The classic "Bait and Switch" was pulled on me...DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I took my MacBook to the Apple store and found out I needed a new display assembly at a cost from Apple of $500. I called Laptops Plus and told them I needed a new display assembly for my MacBook... and asked what it would cost. I was told about $250 so I brought it right in for them to work on. I left a $50 deposit for their tech to diagnose the problem first hand and a week later was told the EXACT same thing that Apple told me which I already knew....The price to fix? You guessed it $500! To add insult to injury, their display assembly is refurbished! I already knew what was wrong with it, I was looking to get it fixed for $250. If she would have told me $500 on the phone when I originally called, I would have never taken it in. Now I am out $50 for them to tell me something I already knew, and that I had told them. What a rip off these people are. BAIT AND SWITCH!!! Like I said, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
Fantastic and Fast
I was told up front there was a "diagnostic fee" of $50 and that it is non-refundable, but does get applied to the repair if I get it done. I proceeded to leave my laptop and it was repaired within two hours. I am out of business without my computer, so i think these gu...ys are angels! I have never been so happy with a computer repair before and I have learned the value of shopping at the "little guy" vs. going to Worst Buy.
Disappointed
They gave me a 2nd opinion/diagnoses over the phone that my video module was bad (not my motherboard which was my 1st diagnosis from some other place) and it would cost $99 to repair. Left a $50 cost deposit when I dropped it off. Got a call at the end of the day tell...ing me that it was the motherboard and not worth fixing. Told to come pick it up and thanks for the $50 - no refund. You can make a nice living telling everyong that we can fix it and then say it's not worth it but let up keep you $50.
Good
Fixed my laptop quickly. I recommend.
