Graphics card repairs in Cape Town?

[Jodez99]

Hi all, I have a 2019 model Acer Predator Helios 300 that came with a Nvidia GTX 1060 card. Recently, the fan of the GFX card has stopped working and I can no longer play games or the laptop overheats and shuts down. I have no idea if something broke, if the joints need lubrication, if it's just dirt or what. Anyone know any decent repair places in Cape Town that could be be help with a problem like this?

When in 2019 did you buy it? Sadly I see that Acer only gives a 1 year warranty on Predator laptops: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/ZA/content/standard-warranty

Take it a part and clean the fan, maybe reapply thermals and see? Laptop fans clog up

Yeah, my warranty is already expired unfortunately.

I tried that but I can't get the thing open because one of the screws is messed up and I'd rather not force it. Also have no experience with these things would rather an expert do it.
