Computer Inoperative

[rpeate]

My computer's fan has failed, leading to "thermal events", leading to automatic shutdowns to prevent overheating. Anyone able to advise me on repair options in Portland? I do not wish to take my computer to the Best Buy Geek Squad con men I suffered the last time I had a problem, and I do not know local computer businesses well.

What kind of a computer do you have? if it's a Mac, I highly recommend MacForce, but sadly, if you're using a PC, I'm out of advice. Good luck!

Most likely you just need to replace the fan, this can be done yourself if you just buy the part and follow the directions. Never ever ever take it too geek squad, they will charge you just to look at it and try and sell you upgrades that are unneeded. Ptown has alot of privately owned computer repair stores, you can always take it there.
