Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVE14A1S1EW 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.
Getting your old files back
Many Vaio SVE14A1S1EW 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.
No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio SVE14A1S1EW shows no lights at all, the fault is often a failed component on the motherboard rather than the whole board. We trace power faults at component level, which can save a laptop that would otherwise be scrapped.
Is it worth repairing?
