Screen and backlight faults
A dim, flickering or dark screen on the Vaio VPCS13S8R/S 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.
Virus and slow-running problems
Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VPCS13S8R/S 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.
Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VPCS13S8R/S 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.
Is it worth repairing?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VPCS13S8R/S come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
