No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VPCEH3M1E/B 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.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio VPCEH3M1E/B 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.
Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VPCEH3M1E/B 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?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VPCEH3M1E/B come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
