Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio SVE1512R1EW are no longer made, so we fit good-quality compatible batteries where you want the laptop to run unplugged. If it won't charge at all, the DC jack or the charging circuit on the motherboard is often the cause, and both can be repaired.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVE1512R1EW. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVE1512R1EW, 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?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio SVE1512R1EW 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.
