Yes — ₹350 for the inspection in Ram Mandir. Our technician diagnoses your laptop and gives you a clear written estimate; if you go ahead with the repair, that ₹350 is adjusted against the total cost, so the inspection itself doesn't add to the bill. If you decide not to proceed, the ₹350 still applies for the technician's time. Our service covers the full 400104 postal area in Ram Mandir.
We accept all major payment methods for Alienware x16 Laptop Liquid Cooling in Ram Mandir: UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), debit/credit cards, net banking, and cash.

Yes — out-of-warranty laptops are most of what we handle in Ram Mandir. Once the manufacturer warranty lapses, authorised centres often quote near-replacement prices for a single component. We repair at component level where it is safe to do so, which is usually a fraction of that cost, and back it with our own 90-day warranty. Customers across Ram Mandir (400104) enjoy priority same-day scheduling.
You pay nothing beyond the ₹350 inspection. If we cannot resolve the fault, we explain exactly what we found, return your laptop in the condition we received it, and — where the economics do not justify a repair — tell you so plainly rather than selling you work that is not worth doing. Our service covers the full 400104 postal area in Ram Mandir.
For software faults, setup, upgrades and diagnostics we can work on-site anywhere in Ram Mandir. Component-level work — board repair, screen bonding, liquid-damage recovery — needs workshop equipment, so we collect the laptop, repair it, and return it. Both options are free of travel charges. We also serve Goregaon West, Jogeshwari, Goregaon, so you can recommend us to neighbours too.

How it's done
How We Perform Laptop Liquid Cooling
What our technicians do, what it requires, and how to tell you need it.
1 How It's Performed
When this needs a genuine repair rather than a reset, we fully disassemble the cooling path, clean out accumulated dust from the fan blades and heatsink fins (the single biggest real cause of creeping temperatures), remove the old dried-out thermal paste completely from both the CPU/GPU die and the heatsink contact plate, and apply fresh paste before reassembly.
Typical time: 30–45 minutes
2 What This Requires
- Inspection of the fan bearing itself for wear (a grinding or whining fan sometimes needs replacing outright rather than just cleaning).
3 When You Need This
- It's been 2+ years since the last internal cleaning — dust buildup is gradual and easy to not notice until it's already affecting performance.
- The exhaust vent feels barely warm even when the fan is clearly running fast, suggesting a dust-blocked path rather than a working one.
The model
About the Alienware x16
The Alienware x16 is Dell's dedicated gaming brand — distinctive design language, high-refresh displays, aggressive cooling, and RGB lighting, aimed squarely at enthusiast gamers across both laptop and desktop forms.
Key features
- Distinctive industrial design with customizable RGB lighting (AlienFX) across the chassis.
- High-refresh-rate displays (144Hz-360Hz depending on model) genuinely matter for competitive gaming.
- Aggressive, often multi-fan cooling solutions — dust buildup has a more noticeable performance impact than on thinner, less powerful laptops.
- Proprietary charging connectors on some models — always confirm the exact connector before ordering a replacement adapter.
