Call them and they will be able to provide availability and pricing. I've purchase many Sony parts from them. Good service; pricing is another matter but they do sell new factory parts. Q

All of the MBX 49 systemboards are the same config and design except a file written to bios for the recovery set. What is the issue w/your board? Weve repaired a ton of these and they are an excellent machine. If you do find say an FX370 board.. You will most likely need to reload the OS but recover any data prior. Just installing the drive will give you a blue screen error.. Good luck!

I note that the original poster seems to be in the UK; unless he has friends or relatives in the US who trust him enough to order and pay for the parts for him, he's going to be SOL. Spare Parts Warehouse only accept US credit cards, will only ship to US postal addresses, and the Access USA service they recommend for getting a temporary US forwarding address is insanely expensive for one-off purchases. -- Kev __________________________________________________________________________ "When they broke open molecules, they found they were only stuffed with atoms.

Actually we have an associate in the UK.. www.laptopclinic.co.uk and we could send a board to him to reship. Would be alot cheaper still. (Most likely around 279.00 plus 20 for ship).. Thanx for the update on the location Kevin as I didnt notice this. |
