No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VPCZ11X9E/B shows no lights at all, the fault is often a failed component on the motherboard rather than the whole board. We trace power faults at component level, which can save a laptop that would otherwise be scrapped.
Moving to a new laptop
Sometimes the honest answer is that a new laptop is better value than repairing the Vaio VPCZ11X9E/B. 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 VPCZ11X9E/B 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?
Because Sony stopped making Vaio laptops in 2014, parts for the Vaio VPCZ11X9E/B come from compatible suppliers or good used stock. Our free diagnostic tells you exactly what's wrong and whether it's worth fixing.
