Overheating and fan noise

After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVT1312Z1RS, 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.

Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio SVT1312Z1RS are often caused by years of accumulated software and malware. We remove it, clean up start-up programs and, if needed, reinstall Windows with your files backed up first.

Moving to a new laptop

Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVT1312Z1RS. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
