Getting your old files back
Many Vaio SVE1711Q1EB owners come to us for one reason: the photos, documents and emails still on the drive. Even if the laptop won't start, the drive can usually be read on our bench, and we copy everything to a USB stick, external drive or your new computer.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVE1711Q1EB, 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.
Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio SVE1711Q1EB 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?
