Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VGN-NR21S/S 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.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio VGN-NR21S/S isn't always a dead panel. On older Vaios the backlight (CCFL tube and inverter on earlier models, LED on later ones) or the display cable is a common culprit, and we test those before suggesting a new screen.
No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VGN-NR21S/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-NR21S/S come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
