But if you want to risk destroying the M'Board you can go to one of the On Line Service Manual Providers buy a Service Manual for your NB and open it up.

If you trash the M'Board through some electrical problem the repair cost from Sony shouldn't be much more than the current price which includes a replacement M'Board. Though you would be better off putting it back together again before going to an Authorised Sony Agent.

Of course if you have some other Computer Repairer around they may be able to solder in a new socket on the M'Board without destroying the Board. This isn't as easy as it sounds as you need Special Tools to prevent the Soldering Iron from Putting a High Voltage Hit into the M'Board when you touch it to the Circuit Board.
