Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio VGN-CR11S/L is replacing its spinning hard drive with a solid-state drive. Start-up and everyday tasks become several times faster, the laptop runs cooler and quieter, and we copy your existing system and files across so nothing is lost.
Keyboard, hinges and casing
Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio VGN-CR11S/L 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 VGN-CR11S/L. 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 VGN-CR11S/L 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.
