The Sony VAIO PCG-GRX500K is an older laptop, and plenty of them are still in daily use. We repair them at our London workshop for home users and businesses, and for customers across the UK by pickup or post.
Typical jobs on a laptop of this age are a dim or cracked screen, a worn keyboard, a loose power socket, a failing hard drive and overheating from a clogged fan. We also deal with Windows problems, viruses and machines that have become too slow to use.
- Battery replacement
- Screen and backlight repair
- Keyboard and trackpad replacement
- Power socket and charging faults
- Motherboard repair at component level
- Hard drive, SSD and memory upgrades
- Data recovery from failed drives
- Overheating, fan and cleaning service
The first step is a tear-down assessment at £45 + VAT, where we open the laptop up and trace the fault. After that we quote, so you know the cost before deciding. Replacement parts we fit carry a one-year warranty. If the files matter more than the laptop itself, we can also recover the data from a drive that has failed.
