Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VPCW12M1E/W 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.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCW12M1E/W. 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 VPCW12M1E/W 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.
Is it worth repairing?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VPCW12M1E/W 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.
