Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VPCM12M1R/L owners come to us for one reason: the photos, documents and emails still on the drive. Even if the laptop won't start, the drive can usually be read on our bench, and we copy everything to a USB stick, external drive or your new computer.
Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VPCM12M1R/L 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.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCM12M1R/L. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
