Sony Vaio SVS1311H3EW repair

Sony sold the Vaio SVS1311H3EW as part of its S series between 2012–2013: a 13.3-inch thin-and-light laptop running Intel Core i5 / i7 (3rd gen). A well-built S series that upgrades easily to an SSD and more RAM.

Screen and backlight faults

A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVS1311H3EW 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.

Keyboard, hinges and casing

Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio SVS1311H3EW of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.

Moving to a new laptop

Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVS1311H3EW. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.

Is it worth repairing?

Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio SVS1311H3EW 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.
