How to find out SuperIO chip? Pls help

Hi guys! I'm trying to find out which SuperIO chip I have in my laptop. I have Asus F3Jc-AP025, chipset Intel i945PM, I don't know the motherboard model but probably it would be F3Jc as the Asus NB Probe shows me that...
I need to find out the Super IO chip for some software solution. It is very important but I don't want to open my laptop and lose the warranty. I think the chip cannot be seen after opening the back doors for changing RAM as shown here - http://sumix-vip.simelon.net/note/celkovy pohledx.jpg

I tried Everest software, some older version Linux hw detect (commands "lspci" and "dmesg") but it didn't give the necessary info about the chip type... Do you have any idea what kind of software could show me this? I know some people can find out something about Super IO sensors in Linux but I dont know how.
It is important, thank you very much for any response and ideas!!!

P.S.If you know what kind of chip you have in your laptop, please let me know how/where did you find out.

 

Really no one knows anything about SupeIO chips in notebooks?
It is something like this:

It is very easy to find it out on desktop motherboard but I don't know how to find out in notebook motherboard without opening the notebook.

I need it for setting up Speedfan to work. Please help. Many thanks for any reply!

 

What is it?

 

Maybe it could help: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/48863/

 

ivar: many thanks for your tip, I will try to work it out with that

usapatriot: it is a chip which is meant to control PS2 devices (mouses, keyboards), IrDA and some other thins as well. Most important for me is that it has also something to do with controlling fans - it has some fan sensors, temperature sensors, voltage sensors... and if I know which one I have, it may be possible to enable Speedfan work on my laptop and therefore lower the speed of the fans on my laptop (they never stop )

 

When SpeedFan starts up is does an auto detect on the SuperIO/sensor types...just start SpeedFan and look at the detect log...I just did that on this desktop and it tells me it has a Winbond W83627HF SuperIO, which is one of the really common ones....

 

DrJ: Yes, that's true, but Speedfan in my laptop doesn't do that. I think it only detects it when the program knows the chip.

 

CTTOI...notebook fan control is usually through the Embedded Controller (EC) and not, like desktops, through the SuperIO...and SpeedFan doesn't deal with ECs, so you may be out of luck....

 

Maybe you're right about the fan control in notebooks but I know that Speedfan works with many laptops that are supported... especially Centrino models... I was mailing with the programmer of Speedfan and he needs to know the Super IO chip to add support for my laptop.

 

oh, ok

thanks
