Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio VPCEH2M1R/L 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 VPCEH2M1R/L 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 VPCEH2M1R/L 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 VPCEH2M1R/L? 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.
