Overheating and fan noise

After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVE1513G1EW, 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.

Battery and power

Original Sony batteries for the Vaio SVE1513G1EW 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.

Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio SVE1513G1EW 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?

Is it worth repairing a Vaio SVE1513G1EW? Often yes for a battery, SSD or DC jack. For bigger faults we'll compare the cost with a replacement laptop and, either way, make sure your files are safe.
