Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio VPCEJ1M1E/B 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.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio VPCEJ1M1E/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 VPCEJ1M1E/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?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VPCEJ1M1E/B 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.
