Virus and slow-running problems

Pop-ups, slow start-up and strange behaviour on a Vaio VPCYB2M1E/G 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 VPCYB2M1E/G 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 VPCYB2M1E/G of this age. We source compatible keyboards and hinges and repair broken hinge mounts in the base.

Is it worth repairing?

Is it worth repairing a Vaio VPCYB2M1E/G? Often yes for a battery, SSD or DC jack. For bigger faults we'll compare the cost with a replacement laptop and, either way, make sure your files are safe.
