Sony Vaio VGN-NR21SR/S repair

Still relying on a Vaio VGN-NR21SR/S? This 15.4-inch home laptop from Sony's NR series (2007–2008) runs on Intel Core 2 Duo / Pentium Dual-Core. The NR's plastic hinge covers crack with age, and the DC jack often works loose.

Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VGN-NR21SR/S 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.

Battery and power

Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VGN-NR21SR/S 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.

No power: motherboard repair

If the Vaio VGN-NR21SR/S 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.

Is it worth repairing?

Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VGN-NR21SR/S come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
