SONY CR MBX-177

BIOS .rar 607 KB Shared

BIOS dump for a Sony VAIO built on the MBX-177 board, with CR in the name probably pointing to the VAIO CR series, packed in a small RAR of about 607 KB. Sony prints its MBX board numbers on the PCB, so confirm the number before flashing. A dump like this helps revive a laptop with corrupted firmware or a forgotten BIOS password by writing the flash with a programmer. Check the extracted image matches the chip capacity, and save the original contents first in case you need to restore them.
