Hi I have a Sony VGC-M1 which is an all in one integrated speakers media centre. The power supply packed up last week. I've opened it up and removed the power pack. It is a bespoke pack for this system (Details -Delta Elctronics, INC. Model number DPS-197AB A). I've been in touch with Sony and as it's well out of warrant no chance of a replacement. I can't find this power supply anywhere on the net (come across other people looking for it too). Made loads of phone calls too.

I've come to the conclusion I may not get one so am now considering alternatives. The motherboard of my Viao is obviously Sony, the power supply has an 18 pin cable (P1). I've been told all standard ATX power supplys have either 20 or 24 pins. I've read that in the Sony Vaio desktops they use standard power supplies. Does anyone know if I could find a Sony power supply with an 18pin connector, or is this a pointless avenue??

Thanks for any suggestions!
 
Sony Vaio VGC-M1 Burnt out power supply!

I have had the same problem with my Sony Vaio VGC-M1. I have actually opened the PSU and found it was a burnt out resistor. More drama's to follow though as these PSU's were made in Japan and I have been unable to find our equivalent resistors. I have found out it is a .22 ohm but the nearest I found at an electronics store was too big to fit. Has anyone out their had any joy sourcing these PSU's?
 
Mine power supply too has blown can anybody give me any ideas where I can get a replacement one from apart from spending £450 with Sony for them to repair it!

Thanks in Advance.
 
Has anybody had any luck finding a replacement power supply for the m1? Mine has just gone south and I dont fancy the hassle of sending it back and getting fleeced by sony!!

Replacement power supply for VGC M1

I have 2 PSU's for the sony VGC M1 as I thought that my original one had blown so I brought another one. Then found out it was my motherboard that had blown
So I have decided not to fix it. The upshot is I have 2 PSU's for sale offers...

Hi there

I would like to take you up on the offer of the psu for the Sony M1, How much are you asking for it.

Please let me know plus postage and packing.

Thanks again for your offer

Ron

Ps when i try to contact you I get messages back saying not enough posting so I hope this get to you.
 
As I did not need it i can let you have it for the price I paid £40, The Postage will be via Royal Mail as I live in Orkney this will be at cost. You can not buy a new one in the UK (believe me i tried for months) Sony will charge you £450 for repairs If you are still interested you please give me a call All other parts are avaiable except the hard drive, including another PSU

Due to count not being high enough please contact me at RJamiesonCaley @ aol.com

Thanks

Robin

Sorry but all the PSU's have gone my only suggestion is to buy youreself an external Hard Drive enclosure for about £10 and use the old Hard drive as an extrenal drive and still keep all your old files very easy to do and will save you a fortune that Sony will charge to fix the PSU for you
