Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VGN-NW24MR. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VGN-NW24MR, 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.
Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VGN-NW24MR 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-NW24MR come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
