Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCEH3C5E. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VPCEH3C5E shows no lights at all, the fault is often a failed component on the motherboard rather than the whole board. We trace power faults at component level, which can save a laptop that would otherwise be scrapped.
Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VPCEH3C5E 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.
Is it worth repairing?
Is it worth repairing a Vaio VPCEH3C5E? 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.
