Surface Overheating
Repair Malaysia
Fan screaming, throttling to a crawl, or shutting down mid-task? We fix Surface Pro overheating at the source — thermal paste, fan, heat sink. From RM200. Same-day.
Warning Signs
Is Your Surface Overheating?
Recognise these symptoms early. Left untreated, overheating causes permanent CPU, battery, and motherboard damage.
Fan Running at Max Speed
Fan spins loudly and constantly even during light tasks like browsing or word processing — a clear sign the cooling system is overwhelmed.
Performance Throttling
Surface Pro slows to a crawl mid-task. The CPU reduces its clock speed to prevent heat damage, causing stuttering and sluggish response.
Unexpected Shutdowns
Device shuts down abruptly without warning during use. This is a critical thermal protection response — address it immediately.
Hot to Touch
The back of the Surface or the screen area is uncomfortably hot, especially around the top edge where vents are located.
Battery Swelling
Persistent heat accelerates battery degradation and can cause the battery to swell, creating a bulge under the kickstand.
Root Causes
Why Your Surface Runs Hot
Dust-Blocked Vents
Dust accumulates inside the tightly sealed chassis over time, clogging vent passages and reducing airflow to near zero.
Dried Thermal Paste
The thermal compound between CPU and heat sink dries out after 2–4 years, losing its ability to transfer heat efficiently.
Failing Fan
The fan bearing wears out, causing reduced RPM, loud grinding noise, or complete seizure — leaving the CPU with no active cooling.
Heat Sink Damage
The copper heat pipe or heat sink can deform or lose contact with the CPU die, drastically reducing thermal dissipation.
Heavy Workloads
Sustained CPU-intensive tasks like video rendering or gaming push aging cooling systems beyond their thermal budget.
