About the Sony VAIO Pro 11
The Sony VAIO Pro 11 is one of the final Sony-made VAIO laptops, part of Sony's last VAIO laptops before Sony sold the VAIO business in 2014. It dates from 2012 to 2014. It has a compact 11-inch screen, so everything inside is tightly packed and repairs need a careful hand.
Its memory is soldered to the board, so it can’t be upgraded after purchase, but the SSD can be replaced. Parts are still widely available, either new or as tested replacements.
Common Sony VAIO Pro 11 faults
- Screen replacement: Screens on the Duo and Tap models are touch assemblies and cost more to replace.
- Battery replacement: Replacement batteries are harder to find for late VAIOs; we source compatible units.

Sony VAIO Pro 11 questions
Can you get my files off a Sony VAIO Pro 11 that won’t turn on?
Usually, yes. The Sony VAIO Pro 11 has a removable drive, so we can often read it directly even if the rest of the laptop is dead. If the drive itself has failed, we recover your files from a copy.
How long does a Sony VAIO Pro 11 repair take?
Screen, keyboard and battery repairs are often done the same day when the part is in stock. Board repairs take a few days, and we give you a timescale with the quote.
