Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCEJ2M1E/W. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio VPCEJ2M1E/W 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.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VPCEJ2M1E/W, and the thermal paste dries out. The result is a loud fan, sudden shut-downs and slow performance. A strip-down clean with fresh thermal paste usually fixes it.
Is it worth repairing?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VPCEJ2M1E/W 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.
