SONY LAPTOP REPAIR FAQ:
Sony
Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn 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 within your system. Our highly skilled engineers have many 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 Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn jack. This causes arcing
which can generate enough heat to melt the Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn 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 Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn
screen. This problem can be caused by a faulty Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn fluorescent light,
inverter, video cable or a problem on the motherboard.
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 work on a customer's LCD/TFT unit.

Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn Keyboard Most Sony keyboards are damaged by liquid
spills and general wear. We also repair keyboard connectors on the system
board.
Sony
Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn CPU problems Intel CPUs hardly ever go wrong, but are
very difficult to diagnose. Some will crash on rarely used
instructions and at certain temperatures. Unfortunately, hours of
testing can be in vain if the problem instruction isn't executed.
Most CPU failures are cause by BGA problems. Overclocking a Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn CPU in a laptop is not recommended as the
cooling systems are designed to dissipate heat at normal speed.

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 Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn fan.
Sony
Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn Hinge Some laptops have a problem with the hinge
becoming stiff. It becomes difficult to open and close the laptop lid.
Sony
Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn 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.
Secondhand
or Used SONY Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn
Buying a used laptop is a risk. You may find that the battery
does not accept a full charge or the laptop is unstable. Most
secondhand sellers consider any laptop that boots into Windows as a
working machine, even if it keeps crashing every five minutes. We
strongly advise customers against buying used laptops with a
DOA warranty as some faults are not immediately apparent.
BIOS
update SONY Vaio Vgn-bx61xn Bx397xp Bx295vp Bx61vn
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.
