Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCP11Z9R/B. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Swap the hard drive for an SSD
The single biggest improvement for an older Vaio VPCP11Z9R/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.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VPCP11Z9R/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?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VPCP11Z9R/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.
