Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VPCEH3A4E 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.
Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VPCEH3A4E 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.
Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio VPCEH3A4E 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?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VPCEH3A4E 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.
