SONY LAPTOP REPAIR FAQ:
Sony
Vaio C1z/b Vgn-c2s/l Vgn-c1s/h C1s/g Motherboard The computer won't switch on or will crash
intermittently. Some video problems also require a motherboard repair
as most video chips are soldered onto the system board. Our engineers
perform component level repairs on most Sony motherboards. We replace resistors, capacitors, transistors and also work on the major
chips, such as the video chip, within your system. Our highly skilled engineers have over 25 years of experience
and know how to fix most motherboard faults.

Power Jack Pin or Socket
The laptop will not charge the battery. When
the battery power runs out the computer stops working. We repair or
replace power sockets where the power pin has broken or has become
disconnected from the motherboard. In some cases the power connector
makes a poor connection with the Vaio C1z/b Vgn-c2s/l Vgn-c1s/h C1s/g jack. This causes arcing
which can generate enough heat to melt the Vaio C1z/b Vgn-c2s/l Vgn-c1s/h C1s/g dc jack and the
power pin may become lose. It is best to get the Sony power socket repair before the battery is totally depleted as this can cause permanent
damage to the battery.

LCD Backlight & inverters The laptop switches on but the screen
remains dark. In some cases a faint image is visible on the Vaio C1z/b Vgn-c2s/l Vgn-c1s/h C1s/g
screen. This problem can be caused by a faulty Vaio C1z/b Vgn-c2s/l Vgn-c1s/h C1s/g fluorescent light,
inverter, video cable or a problem on the motherboard. Specialist
tools are required to determine the exact cause of the fault.
Backlights use very high voltages and it is easy to cause damage to
the system if they are not correctly handled and installed. Our
engineers can replace the backlight lamps in most TFT/LCD screens
including the new xbrite panels. It is very easy to destroy an expensive LCD/TFT when
removing/installing the CCFL. Our engineers are trained using broken
LCD panels before they can operate on a customer's LCD/TFT unit.

Overheating We can install replacement Sony fans and
heat sink parts. In cases where the original fan is not available, we
can install substitute fans which will be equivalent or surpass the
performance of the original Vaio C1z/b Vgn-c2s/l Vgn-c1s/h C1s/g fan.

Hard Drive Faulty hard drives can cause data loss and
stop your laptop from booting into Windows. We can replace faulty hard
drive and attempt to recover your data. After installing the new
drive, our engineers perform a thorough disk test to ensure that your
data is as secure as possible.
Sony
Vaio C1z/b Vgn-c2s/l Vgn-c1s/h C1s/g Software and Drivers Viruses and improper shutdowns can lead to
the Windows XP operating system or the file system becoming corrupted.
We can recover your data and install a fresh operating system or
drivers to prevent crashes. We can also recover your data from totally
dead or unusable computers.
BIOS
update SONY Vaio C1z/b Vgn-c2s/l Vgn-c1s/h C1s/g
Many motherboards are destroyed by incomplete or corrupted BIOS
updates. A BIOS update should only be performed if it is critically
important. Don't do a BIOS update just for the sake of having the latest
version on your computer. Ensure that your computer is stable before
performing a BIOS update. Run diagnostics to check memory, hard
drive, keyboard and video graphics. In
99% of cases a failed bios update will make the computer totally unusable
so take a backup of your software and data too. Make sure that you
have a good connection to your mains adapter and that the battery is
fully charged.
