What Motherboard -PCV RZ221

[Teve]

What Motherboard -PCV RZ221- My power supply packed up the other day so I'm moving my PC's insides to a new case. The problem is the new case as different wiring so I need to know what plugs in where on my motherboard. Sonys support site does not say who the manufacturer is. the motherboard has a number on it P455 35VL but google does'nt find any reference to it. Does anyone out there know what make model of motherboard I have. or if you have the same PC would you run a product like belarc advisor and let me know what it says the motherboard is.

Regards

Hi Teve and welcome to Club Vaio.

I think it is the Asus P4S533-VL



EDIT: I have found a manual for the P4S533-VM http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock478/p4s533-vm/e1058_p4s533-vm.pdf
but it may have different pinouts.


EDIT AGAIN: This is more like it and should help http://static.tigerdirect.ca/pdf/Sony-Vaio-PCVRX951-system-reference-manual-C67-1322.pdf
I think the RX951 has the same motherboard.

Hi Blencogo,

The second link looks identical to the layout of my motherboard so I think you have found the right answer for me. :smileygrin:

Thank you very much for your help

You're welcome Teve.

Unfortunately whilst the motherboard p4s533-vm is similar, the layout of the front panel & usb ports are different on the Asus P4S533-VL. I wrote to ASUS but they say as its an OEM board for sony they don't do a manual. I've written again to see if they have a diagram or anything similar that might help but so far they have not responded.

Has anyone out there solved this problem in the past ? I tried searching this forum but the search function seems a bit ropey. Searching for the word motherboard didn't even find my own posting let alone anyone elses.

Any advice gratefully recieved.
