Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VGN-TT46VRG, 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.
Virus and slow-running problems
Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VGN-TT46VRG 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.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VGN-TT46VRG. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
