Screen and backlight faults

A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVD1121Z9EB isn't always a dead panel. On older Vaios the backlight (CCFL tube and inverter on earlier models, LED on later ones) or the display cable is a common culprit, and we test those before suggesting a new screen.

Moving to a new laptop

Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVD1121Z9EB. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.

Getting your old files back

Many Vaio SVD1121Z9EB owners come to us for one reason: the photos, documents and emails still on the drive. Even if the laptop won't start, the drive can usually be read on our bench, and we copy everything to a USB stick, external drive or your new computer.

Is it worth repairing?

Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio SVD1121Z9EB are no longer made. We use quality compatible or reclaimed parts, and we'll tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it before you spend anything.
