Getting your old files back
Many Vaio VPCW12S1E/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.
Keyboard, hinges and casing
Worn keys, a cracked hinge cover or a lid that no longer stays upright are typical on a Vaio VPCW12S1E/W of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.
Virus and slow-running problems
Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VPCW12S1E/W 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.
Is it worth repairing?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VPCW12S1E/W come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
