Dust Can Blow Your Computer Up, Apparently

I’ve had my computer for over a year now and have not had any major issues with it. Well…except for this buzzing sound which started happening around 4 - 6 months in whenever I fired up software, like Dreamweaver, to get my projects going.

I had no idea what it was, I opened up the side panel and saw a bunch of dust so I vacuumed it away and thought it would be OK. I was wrong. It just would not go away, so I ended up taking it to the repair shop. They said it was just a bunch of dust accumulated in the fan and they also said it was a good thing I brought it in because it could have resulted in overheating and a potential fire could have erupted. Geez, that was a relief.

So now I clean my system out once every few months. But there was a time when my first laptop did die on me for no apparent reason and it took a long time to get me started back again. That time though I did employ the use of a professional computer technician. So I do appreciate the services that these people provide.

Which brings me to why I’m writing this post, FastTeks.com is a Computer Repair service that offers Business and Residential repair services.

Some of their services include -

  • Virus, Worm, Spyware Removal
  • Wireless Networking
  • Data Backup and Recovery
  • Troubleshoot and Repair
  • Shared Internet Office Solutions

I’ve read many horror stories from services offered by many top retail establishments that sometimes it’s not a bad idea to have another service handy.

They serve over a 150 cities in the U.S or Canada so odds are you are in one of them.

  4. Hyder, can you list some of the “150″ locations? I’m in NYC, and when I put in my ZIP code on their site, i just get the generic “leave your contact information and we’ll contact you.” They’re associated with CompUSA, but they just went under, so they may have lost all their retail outlets.

  5. Matthew best advice I can give you is to get in touch with them by email or give them a call. :smile:
