Virus and slow-running problems
Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VPCX11S1E/B 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 VPCX11S1E/B 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.
Overheating and fan noise
After many years, dust packs into the fan and heatsink of a Vaio VPCX11S1E/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 VPCX11S1E/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.
