Has your Lenovo ThinkPad started running louder or getting hotter than it used to? Even in a machine as solidly built as a ThinkPad, the cooling system needs servicing over time. Repairs typically take 1–3 working days.
In short: The Lenovo ThinkPad is a business classic, very solidly built, and often appears on the second-hand market from companies with unknown service history. We measure temperatures, completely dismantle and clean the ThinkPad’s cooling system, and always replace the thermal paste.
Our experience with Lenovo ThinkPad
We’ve cleaned the cooling system in 5 Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. This is Lenovo’s business classic — very solid construction, with a large number of ex-lease units on the second-hand market.
ThinkPad — business-grade construction with full technical documentation
The ThinkPad is one of the best-documented laptops on the market — full technical documentation makes our work much easier during disassembly and parts selection. Many units come to us from the second-hand market, from companies where the laptop’s service history is often unknown, so when cleaning the cooling system we always check the actual condition inside, rather than relying solely on the device’s age.

Yes, it means we know exactly how to safely access the cooling system in a given model, which makes the service faster and more reliable.

With typical business use, we recommend an inspection every one to two years.
