Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVT1511M1RS. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio SVT1511M1RS 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.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVT1511M1RS 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.
Is it worth repairing?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio SVT1511M1RS 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.
