Sony sold the Vaio SVE14A2A4E as part of its E series between 2012–2013: a 14-inch home laptop running Intel Core i3 / i5 / i7 or AMD. The last generation of Sony's best-selling E series; it runs Windows 10 well with an SSD.

No power: motherboard repair

If the Vaio SVE14A2A4E 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.

Keyboard, hinges and casing

Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio SVE14A2A4E of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.

Swap the hard drive for an SSD

The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio SVE14A2A4E is replacing its spinning hard drive with a solid-state drive. Start-up and everyday tasks become several times faster, the laptop runs cooler and quieter, and we copy your existing system and files across so nothing is lost.

Is it worth repairing?

Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio SVE14A2A4E come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
