SONY MBX-223 TESTED OK

BIOS .rar 1.67 MB Shared

Firmware dump for the Sony VAIO board MBX-223, described in the name as tested OK, packed as a 1.67 MB RAR. Sony uses MBX codes to identify its VAIO mainboards, and the code is printed on the PCB, so confirm it there. The image can be written with an external SPI programmer to bring back a board that will not start after a failed update. Save a read of the existing chip before writing, and check that the dump size matches the capacity of the flash on your board.
