Sony Vaio HDMI, USB & Connectivity Restoration
Peripheral ports are the most physically active components on any laptop. Constant stress from plugging and unplugging heavy HDMI cables or USB-C devices can eventually snap the microscopic solder joints that anchor these ports to your Sony Vaio's motherboard. At Atlantis, we offer a dedicated Sony Vaio port repair for a fixed fee of £80.00. Whether you have a "wobbly" USB socket or an HDMI port that only works at a specific angle, our specialists use industrial micro-soldering to reinforce and restore your laptop's connectivity.
Meet Your Atlantis Technician
Port repair is a test of thermal management and physical alignment. Sony Vaio motherboards are densely packed, and soldering a new HDMI or USB port requires precision to avoid damaging surrounding components. My role in the Canterbury workshop is to anchor the new port physically to the board using reinforced solder points, ensuring it can withstand the stress of daily use. I often see ports that have been "ripped" off the board, taking the copper pads with them—in these cases, I perform delicate trace reconstruction. My goal is to ensure that your "handshake" with external monitors and devices is as stable as the day you bought your Vaio.
Process & Protection
Our connectivity restoration process starts with a full teardown to access the internal hardware. We remove the old, oxidised solder and replace the faulty port with a high-quality, OEM-spec component. If the damage was caused by a surge or liquid spill, we may also recommend a laptop mainboard repair to address internal shorts. Every repair is backed by a 1-year return-to-base warranty. In the event that your display is also flickering, you can combine this with our Sony Vaio screen replacement. If the port is found to be unrepairable due to severe board damage, we only charge a £15 inspection fee.

Sony Vaio Port Support & FAQ
How much does it cost to fix a laptop HDMI port? Atlantis provides a fixed-price Sony Vaio port repair for £80.00, which includes the component, professional micro-soldering, and return shipping.
Can you fix a loose USB port? Yes. Most "loose" ports have simply snapped their solder anchors. We can re-solder your existing port if it's undamaged, or replace it with a new one for a permanent fix.
My Sony Vaio isn't charging, is it the port? If the pin inside the DC jack is broken or if the cable feels wobbly, it is likely the port. You can find more official troubleshooting on the Sony Support site.
Do you need my password? No. Port repairs are hardware-level and can be tested for signal and power handshake without needing access to your operating system.
