Sony Vaio USB Boards

[Sirbu4]

Anyone know which Sony Vaio Models use USB board part number A1567131A?

Also what is the difference between this USB board and USB board part number A1629877A?

Hi there,

Welcome to the Sony Community.

I would recommend getting in touch with Support team here who will be happy to advise. 

Best wishes,

Thanks for the advice.  I contacted the Sony Support Team as suggested and was told that support and repair services for the computers and USB boards in question were suspended last year.  So if anyone in the community can help I would be grateful.

A very quick Google indicates that A1567131A is from a Vaio VGN-SR model

Sorry - no idea what the difference is except that the second one still seems to be available where the first one doesn't - except on eBay:

Thanks for your advice.  Managed to buy a cheap Vaio SR29 carcass on eBay with the USB board still in it so was able to replace the broken board.
