Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VPCB11X9E/B 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.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VPCB11X9E/B, 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 VPCB11X9E/B 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?
Is it worth repairing a Vaio VPCB11X9E/B? Often yes for a battery, SSD or DC jack. For bigger faults we'll compare the cost with a replacement laptop and, either way, make sure your files are safe.
