Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VPCEE4E1R/BQ 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.
Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VPCEE4E1R/BQ 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.
Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio VPCEE4E1R/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?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VPCEE4E1R/BQ come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
