Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio SVZ1311M9EX 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.

Screen and backlight faults

A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio SVZ1311M9EX 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.

Overheating and fan noise

After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVZ1311M9EX, 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.

Is it worth repairing?

Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio SVZ1311M9EX 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.
