Sony Vaio Power Supply

[KingCody]

if it is microATX, then chances are that you won't be able to find anything more than 300watts. Newegg has a 450W mATX PSU, but it is a piece of crap, got very bad reviews from everyone that bought it.

To answer your question, if it is mATX (microATX), then it is an industry standard and and any mATX PSU will have the right connector.

I need to know if anyone has any info on mycomputers power supply. Currently I have a Sony Vaio PCV-24G, which appears to have a 300 Watt Power Supply. I have tried Sony Support to get info on the power Supply to replace it with a power supply with more Watts. It appears to be a mATX power supply, but I need to know if it is standard wiring, can I use a standard stock mATX power supply.

Any infi would be helpful.
Thanks

Need Confirmation

I think it is a mATX power supply but I need to know for sure.
Does anyone have any experience with Sony Vaio PCV-RZ24G, which is the model #.
Please somebody let me know.

it will say on the power supply itself if it is an ATX or microATX standard. If it doesn't, then be careful, even if the connector matches, plugging in an ATX PSU into a proprietary system could fry your mobo

I too have a sony vaio machine and psu PCV-RZ44G. I emailed sony about their psu's . Had to email them again asking not for a automated answer. They said this :

They ranted about device drivers I have no clue why. Anyway they didn't give me a yes or no answer about wether I can buy my own custom psu or any info about it.

Sony is exasperating. I have asked them how to remove the top panel from a Vaio (they referred me to an online web page that I already knew about that explains how to remove the left panel), and whether the mobo in my Vaio supports a faster P4 chip that I'm interested in. They keep botting out canned text about Sony not supporting this or that modification, and doing so will void the warranty.

What warranty? The one that expired 3 1/2 years ago? That one?

I paid for the computer, can't you Sony freaks just give me some dam info?

Anyway, in searching many forums about Vaios, I have seen many times that the mounting holes in standard power supplies don't align with those in the Vaio chassis. Try some searches, I don't recall if your exact model is one to which this applies.
