    My friend has a s260, and most of the time it's not working, so i try to fix it, and find out that you have to put pressure on the Gpu in order to power it on. so i think it's the gpu problem.

    Now thinking of changing the whole motherboard myself, but found on the internet that, the motherboard of s260 and s360 it's completely same except for the gpu chip is different. one on s260 is ati9200, s360 is ati 9700 i believe.

    So question here, can i replace the s260 motherboard with any vgn-s3 , s4 or s5 motherboard?

    Thanks in advanced.
