Repair Plan

Microsmith Electronics in Newport upgraded the storage on an Acer Aspire 6 laptop, replacing the original HDD with a fast SSD and giving the machine a full internal service. The Acer Aspire 6 is a solid mid-range laptop but the stock HDD is a significant bottleneck for everyday use.

What Was Done

The customer’s Acer Aspire 6 was taking over two minutes to boot and freezing regularly during use. We replaced the HDD with a 480GB SSD, performed a clean OS reinstall, transferred the customer’s files, and cleaned the heatsink and fans.

What This Service Includes

  • 480GB SSD installation (replacing HDD)
  • Clean Windows installation and driver updates
  • Data transfer from old drive
  • Internal clean — dust removal from heatsink and fans
  • Thermal paste replacement
  • Full performance test before handback

The Result

Boot time dropped from over 2 minutes to under 20 seconds. The laptop ran cooler and quieter after the internal clean.
