MBX-214 Nvidia

BIOS .rar 1005 KB Shared

BIOS firmware archive for a Sony VAIO laptop built on the MBX-214 motherboard, in the version for Nvidia graphics, packed as a 1005 KB RAR. MBX numbers are Sony's own board designations printed on the PCB, and the same MBX code can exist with different GPU options, so the Nvidia label matters. Use it to reprogram a corrupted BIOS chip with an SPI programmer. Check the board number on the PCB, back up the original flash and match the image size to the chip before writing.
