Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VPCCA4S1R/R 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.

No power: motherboard repair

If the Vaio VPCCA4S1R/R 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.

Getting your old files back

Many Vaio VPCCA4S1R/R 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.

Is it worth repairing?

Is it worth repairing a Vaio VPCCA4S1R/R? 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.
