No power: motherboard repair

If the Vaio SVZ1311V9RX shows no lights at all, the fault is often a failed component on the motherboard rather than the whole board. We trace power faults at component level, which can save a laptop that would otherwise be scrapped.

Keyboard, hinges and casing

Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio SVZ1311V9RX of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.

Overheating and fan noise

After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio SVZ1311V9RX, 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?

Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio SVZ1311V9RX come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
