Sony made VAIO laptops for years, and many are still in use. Current VAIO laptops are made by VAIO Corporation in Japan, which took over the PC business from Sony. We see both: older Sony VAIO laptops at home, and newer VAIO SX and F models used for work and study.

VAIO series we repair

Check whether your laptop has a Sony logo or just the VAIO name. That tells us if it is an older Sony model or a newer VAIO Corporation one, which helps us find the right parts.

VAIO (current models by VAIO Corporation)

Light, premium laptops built for travel and work. Thin, light designs mean screens and hinges need careful handling. Batteries wear down with daily charging, like any laptop.

Common models: VAIO SX12, SX14, SX14-R, S13, F14, F16 and VAIO T. We also see Reborn VAIO refurbished units.

Sony VAIO (older models)

Sony-made VAIO laptops, from small ultrabooks to 2-in-1s with sliding or flipping screens. With age, batteries, hinges and fans are the usual faults. Parts for older models can be hard to find, so we check before we quote.

Common models: VAIO Fit, VAIO Pro, VAIO Duo, VAIO Tap, VAIO Flip, and the VAIO E, S, Z and T series.

Company VAIO laptops

Work laptops need a little more care before a repair. Check these with your IT team first:

  • BitLocker. Many company laptops have an encrypted drive. Have the recovery key ready, as some repairs can ask for it.
  • BIOS passwords. If the laptop has a supervisor password, your IT team needs to remove it or be on hand. We don’t bypass it.
  • Warranty first. If the laptop is on a business warranty such as next business day cover, use it before paying for a repair.
  • Fleets. We can look at several laptops at once and tell you which are worth fixing.

Looking after a whole fleet? See business laptop repair, managed IT services or IT procurement for replacements.

Still under manufacturer warranty?

Check with VAIO first if your laptop is still under warranty. An independent repair may affect your manufacturer warranty. Older Sony VAIO laptops are usually well out of warranty, and we’re happy to help.

Questions people ask

Can you repair my VAIO screen?

Usually, yes, if a replacement panel is available for your exact model. Screens vary by size, resolution and touch support, so we check the part first. Prices depend on the model and part. Send us the model on WhatsApp for a quote.

Will I lose my data?

Screen, battery, keyboard and fan repairs don’t normally touch your files. Board repairs and liquid damage carry more risk. If the laptop still turns on, back up first. See 3-2-1 backup for a simple way to do it.

How do I find my model?

Look at the label under the laptop, or at the model name printed near the keyboard or hinge. In Windows you can also open Settings > System > About. Older Sony models often have a long model number on the label. Send us a photo on WhatsApp.
