Moving to a new laptop

Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VGN-SZ2XP/CF. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.

No power: motherboard repair

If the Vaio VGN-SZ2XP/CF 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.

Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VGN-SZ2XP/CF 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.

Is it worth repairing?

Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VGN-SZ2XP/CF come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
