Screen and backlight faults

A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio VPCEB4C4E isn't always a dead panel. On older Vaios the backlight (CCFL tube and inverter on earlier models, LED on later ones) or the display cable is a common culprit, and we test those before suggesting a new screen.

Getting your old files back

Many Vaio VPCEB4C4E 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.

Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VPCEB4C4E 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.

Is it worth repairing?

Is it worth repairing a Vaio VPCEB4C4E? 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.
