Sony Vaio Laptop Repair in the UK?

[Martinrub]

Can anyone recommend a competent, trustworthy place in the UK to send my 10-year-old Sony Vaio laptop to for repair?

There is a fault on the motherboard, and, so far, I have approached 4 places without success.

Thanks.

Doesn't get more trustworthy than authorized Sony service centres.

That was the first place I looked at, but when you visit the authorised Sony Service Centres, laptops are not on the list of equipment they service, no doubt because Sony abandoned laptop production a long while ago.

Did you use the "Personal Computers" filter when searching?

[Martinrub]

Many thanks. That option didn’t appear on the page I first visited. But it is on the page I have now found. There appears to be a place in Pencoed and one in Chatham, so I will contact them. Many thanks.

Glad to hear that ^^

Will do. I’m just waiting for a callback from the Vaio team and then I’ll be able to add something useful, and positive, I hope.

Many thanks

Chatham

PHONE 01634 681111

many thanks for your kind help putting onto the right track.

I’m happy your problem is solved but I guess there can be other users who need some tips.
