Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio SVS1511V9EB are no longer made, so we fit good-quality compatible batteries where you want the laptop to run unplugged. If it won't charge at all, the DC jack or the charging circuit on the motherboard is often the cause, and both can be repaired.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVS1511V9EB, and the thermal paste dries out. The result is a loud fan, sudden shut-downs and slow performance. A strip-down clean with fresh thermal paste usually fixes it.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVS1511V9EB 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.
