About the Acer Predator Helios 18

Predator is Acer's high-end gaming line. It runs hot under load, so cleaning, thermal paste and fan replacement are common jobs.
Common Predator repairs
- Overheating
- Screen
- GPU faults
- Charging
Screen replacement
Cracked glass, lines across the picture or a black screen with sound still working: we replace the display panel on the Acer Predator Helios 18 and test it fully before handing it back. If the fault is the display cable or backlight, we fix that instead of fitting a whole new screen.
Battery swelling and battery life
Lithium batteries wear out and can swell, lifting the touchpad or bending the base. If your Acer Predator Helios 18 has a bulging case or a touchpad that won't click, stop using it on charge and bring it in: we replace the battery and check nothing else was damaged.
Overheating and fan noise
A Acer Predator Helios 18 that runs hot, throttles or shuts down under load usually needs a deep clean, new thermal paste and, sometimes, a replacement fan. It's a quick job that restores performance and protects the motherboard.
