Be careful... it was the replacing of the two ports on that old VGN-S360 that killed it... VAIOs are well known in repair circles for dying of heatstroke from even the slightest rework (and I was duly warned)... if it's a modular jack (on a cable, so no soldering), you'll be fine. If you need an iron... buy a board, not a port. Trust me.
