Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VGN-CS2, 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.
Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VGN-CS2 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.
Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VGN-CS2 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.
Is it worth repairing?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VGN-CS2 come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
