Getting your old files back

Many Vaio SVS13A1Z9RN 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.

Keyboard, hinges and casing

Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio SVS13A1Z9RN of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.

No power: motherboard repair

If the Vaio SVS13A1Z9RN shows no lights at all, the fault is often a failed component on the motherboard rather than the whole board. We trace power faults at component level, which can save a laptop that would otherwise be scrapped.

Is it worth repairing?

Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio SVS13A1Z9RN 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.
