No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio SVS13A3W9ES 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.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVS13A3W9ES 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.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVS13A3W9ES. 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 SVS13A3W9ES 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.
