so i have a 3-4 year old asus g73 republic of gamers(whichever model bestbuy carried)
its getting hot as shit lately. i read that it might be a thermal pasting wearing out. a local computer parts store said they charge $55 to dust out and repaste the computer. i know thermal paste only costs a little and if it were a desktop i'd do it myself. i've never opened up a laptop and i would hate to ruin it, even if it is old.
do you guys think $55 is a waste of money? is it easy to mess up a laptop? i was originally going to buy a cooling pad but i heard that's useless
