Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio VPCS12V9R/B of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.
No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VPCS12V9R/B shows no lights at all, the fault is often a failed component on the motherboard rather than the whole board. We trace power faults at component level, which can save a laptop that would otherwise be scrapped.
