I don't see an entry for the FX501. 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.

Any fx series board will suffice unless you want to run the origiona
recovery disk set that came with the notebook.. All of the MBX 4
systemboards are the same config and design except a file written t
bios for the recovery set. What is the issue w/your board? Wev
repaired a ton of these and they are an excellent machine. If you d
find say an FX370 board.. You will most likely need to reload the O
but recover any data prior. Just installing the drive will give yo
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.

Actually we have an associate in the UK.. www.laptopclinic.co.uk an
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 updat
on the location Kevin as I didnt notice this |
