Hey guys
Basically my All in One Sony Vaio Power Supply is Dying . It had become dangerous , making buzzing noises and I am afraid of it blowing or causing a fire . I spent about £20 calling SOny for a replacement, though they no longer make them , and have dug around for hours on end trying to find an identical replacement
I managed to get a 20 Pin PSU to fit in the case despite the Vaio's awkward size , however the Sony motherboard has an Odd 18 Pin connector.
So I cut off the MOBO 18 pin male connector off the faulty, original PSU and spliced it to my replacement PSU .I had heard of this method working beofre !
I noticed the old PSU had a brown wire connected to the motherboard which the new PSU doesn't have. THe old PSU also had an extra ground Ground wire for the Mobo. At the moment I have just taped up the brown and spare black wires from the cut off , old male connection plug. Because as the New PSU doesn't have a brown wire or a spare or enough spare black wire .
everything else is spliced to the replacement PSU , I press the on buton and nothing is happening .I also notice the inevitable spare red and blue wires on the replacement PSU
Any suggestions ?
