No power: motherboard repair
If the Vaio VPCZ23A4R 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 VPCZ23A4R. In that case we move all your files, emails, bookmarks and photos across to your new machine so you don't lose anything.
Battery and power
Original Sony batteries for the Vaio VPCZ23A4R are no longer made, so we fit good-quality compatible batteries where you want the laptop to run unplugged. If it won't charge at all, the DC jack or the charging circuit on the motherboard is often the cause, and both can be repaired.
Is it worth repairing?
Sony sold its PC business in 2014, so new original parts for the Vaio VPCZ23A4R 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.
