MBX-195 M791 REV 1.0

BIOS .rar 835 KB Shared

BIOS image for a Sony VAIO motherboard MBX-195, also marked M791, revision 1.0, compressed into an 835 KB RAR. MBX numbers are Sony's own board identifiers, used on VAIO notebooks such as the VGN-NS series. The small size suggests a 1 MB class flash chip, but check the extracted file. It is written to the SPI flash with a programmer to recover from a corrupt update or a password lock. Back up the original chip and make sure the image size matches the chip before writing.
