SONY LAPTOP REPAIR FAQ:
Sony
Vaio Vgn-tx1/w 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 engineers have many years of experience
and know how to fix most systemboard faults.
Sony
Vaio Vgn-tx1/w VGA Video Graphics
faults The system starts up with dots or lines on the
bios or intro screen. At this level there is no other software loaded, so software problems are ruled out. Graphics are distorted, blocked or pixilated.
In some cases the system refuses to boot. Strange effects when
windows or mouse are moved on the screen. All these effects can be
caused by a faults related to the graphics chips. About 90% of
faults can be repaired, the rest are caused by damage to the
motherboard and impossible to repair. Our Advanced Video Repair
Technology enables us to restore full function to your laptop in
most cases. Manufacturers and their tech support may recommend

Vaio Vgn-tx1/w
LCD Backlight & inverters The laptop switches on but the screen
remains dark. In some cases a faint image is visible on the Vaio Vgn-tx1/w
screen. This problem can be caused by a faulty Vaio Vgn-tx1/w 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. We can perform repairs on some very rare
inverters.Our engineers are trained using broken
LCD panels before they can operate on a customer's LCD/TFT unit.
Sony
Vaio Vgn-tx1/w 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-tx1/w CPU in a laptop is not recommended as the
cooling systems are designed to dissipate heat at normal speed.

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 Vgn-tx1/w Charging problem Charging problems can be due to
batteries nearing their end of life, power supply problems or failed
components on the motherboard (FET, MOSFET, Transistor, Diode or
Capacitor).
