We repair the Sony VAIO PCG-FRV34 at component level, which matters on an older machine where whole replacement boards are no longer easy to come by.
Whether it's a hardware fault such as a dead screen, a broken hinge or a clicking drive, or a software one such as a virus or a Windows error, we start by finding the actual cause.
- Hard drive, SSD and memory upgrades
- Data recovery from failed drives
- Overheating, fan and cleaning service
- Hinges, casing and cosmetic repair
- Windows repair, virus and malware removal
- Battery replacement
- Screen and backlight repair
- Keyboard and trackpad replacement
We begin with an assessment, which costs £45 + VAT. It is a proper tear-down and bench diagnosis rather than a quick look, so it takes time. You then get a quote, and nothing chargeable is done until you agree to it. If the repair turns out not to make sense for a laptop of this age, you'll know that from the quote before you commit to anything.
