Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VPCEB2L9E/BQ 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.

Overheating and fan noise

After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VPCEB2L9E/BQ, 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.

Swap the hard drive for an SSD

The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio VPCEB2L9E/BQ is replacing its spinning hard drive with a solid-state drive. Start-up and everyday tasks become several times faster, the laptop runs cooler and quieter, and we copy your existing system and files across so nothing is lost.

Is it worth repairing?

Is it worth repairing a Vaio VPCEB2L9E/BQ? 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.
