Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio VPCP11Z9E/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.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCP11Z9E/B. 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 VPCP11Z9E/B, 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?
