Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio SVE14A3M6EB 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.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVE14A3M6EB 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.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVE14A3M6EB, and the thermal paste dries out. The result is a loud fan, sudden shut-downs and slow performance. A strip-down clean with fresh thermal paste usually fixes it.
Is it worth repairing?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio SVE14A3M6EB come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
