Original BIOS dump for a Sony VAIO M850 on the MBX-204 motherboard, stored as a .bin inside an 870 KB RAR archive. Sony labels its VAIO boards with MBX numbers, which helps match firmware across models that share the same board. The image is used to rewrite the SPI flash when the netbook will not start or the BIOS is password locked or corrupted. Extract it, compare the image size with the chip on the board, and read the existing chip before writing it with a programmer.

Compressed archive — the usual wrapper for a schematic + boardview pair or a BIOS + EC set.
Back up your own chip before writing any dump, and match the full board number and revision. Flashing guide →
