    Is there a way to change the S1 button to act as a power button?
    I have a VAIO FW and I believe the wires in the power button are loose
    I often have to press the button multiple times at different angles to turn my laptop on.
    Could I change the BIOS perhaps?

    No way...
    Except if you change internal wiring...

    Have it repaired under warranty.
