So the thing is... I have Acer Aspire 5520. I sent it to cleaning and they changed the thermal paste, that's ok but i realized that the thermal pads are missing and the laptop is unuseable now.

It overheats when idleing. I tried to use CPU thermal paste as replacement, but that didn't work.

Can i get new thermal pads or something or my laptop is a goner?

Contact the people who worked on your laptop, they need to take care of this.  Yes, you can buy thermal pads on your own, but you shouldn't have to.  You paid for a service, and they didn't hold up their end of the bargain.

I contacted the main office of the shop and they said that the guy worked there (and on my laptop) was fired long time ago. They can't fix his mistake if i don't have my check.

I will figure something out.

Thanks for all the help. :)

No, I'm sorry that is not acceptable. As an employee,you work as an agent of that company. Just because your "agent" was fired, doesn't mean the company is off the hook. Fight this.
