Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VPCEB1Z0E/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.
No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VPCEB1Z0E/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.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCEB1Z0E/B. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Is it worth repairing?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VPCEB1Z0E/B are no longer made. We use quality compatible or reclaimed parts, and we'll tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it before you spend anything.
