Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVZ1311S9EX, 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.
Keyboard, hinges and casing
Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio SVZ1311S9EX of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVZ1311S9EX. 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 SVZ1311S9EX 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.
