Getting your old files back
Many Vaio SVS13A3C5E 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.
No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio SVS13A3C5E 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.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVS13A3C5E. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
