A friend of mine asked me to look at his laptop. It would over heat and shut down after thirty minutes. When I looked at it someone had already opened it up. The inside was a mess of dust crammed in the fan intake, crumbs, and crust from maybe a liquid spill.

Should I tell him to buy a new laptop?
