Virus and slow-running problems
Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VPCF23Z1E/BI are often caused by years of accumulated software and malware. We remove it, clean up start-up programs and, if needed, reinstall Windows with your files backed up first.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCF23Z1E/BI. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VPCF23Z1E/BI, 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?
