Can I replace the motherboard?
Hi,
I have two Sony Vaio motherboards. The first one is:
From this laptop's model SVF13n12SGS.
Motherboard P/N: 31FI1MB0000
S/N: A1974482A.
The second, from this model: SVF13NA1UM.
Motherboard P/N: 31FI1MB00B0
S/N: A1974483A.
The first motherboard (A1974482A) is not working. Thus, can I replace the first one by the second one?
(I do not want to buy a new motherboard)

If they're both the exact same model, then yes, very likely.
If they're different models, but from the same series, then it might be doable, but depends on the exact models.

Do you mean the motherboard P/N: 31FI1MB0000
S/N: A1974482A
Must be replaced by a motherboard with same numbers?

It would help, but if they are not the same then you may have to adjust some of the drivers. But it is doable.

Is there any other issue except the drivers?
