Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VGN-B3VP/F owners come to us for one reason: the photos, documents and emails still on the drive. Even if the laptop won't start, the drive can usually be read on our bench, and we copy everything to a USB stick, external drive or your new computer.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VGN-B3VP/F. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Virus and slow-running problems
Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VGN-B3VP/F 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.
Is it worth repairing?
Is it worth repairing a Vaio VGN-B3VP/F? Often yes for a battery, SSD or DC jack. For bigger faults we'll compare the cost with a replacement laptop and, either way, make sure your files are safe.
