Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio SVE1512K1EB 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.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVE1512K1EB, 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.
Virus and slow-running problems
Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio SVE1512K1EB are often caused by years of accumulated software and malware. We remove it, clean up start-up programs and, if needed, reinstall Windows with your files backed up first.
Is it worth repairing?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio SVE1512K1EB come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
