Moving to a new laptop

Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio SVZ1311X8EX. 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 SVZ1311X8EX 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.

Keyboard, hinges and casing

Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio SVZ1311X8EX of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.
