Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VPCCB2S8E/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.
No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VPCCB2S8E/B 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 VPCCB2S8E/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.
Is it worth repairing?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VPCCB2S8E/B come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
