Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio SVS13A2Z9ES 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.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVS13A2Z9ES 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 SVS13A2Z9ES of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.
