Sony Vaio VGN-CS230J=1=Intel GMA 4500MHD

BIOS .bin 1.00 MB Shared

BIOS image for the Sony VAIO VGN-CS230J laptop in the Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics configuration, stored as a 1.00 MB binary. The graphics note matters because VAIO models of this line were also sold with discrete GPUs, and the firmware differs between variants. The 1 MB size corresponds to an 8 Mbit SPI chip. Flash it with a programmer to recover a board with corrupted BIOS. Confirm the board has integrated graphics only, and back up the original chip before overwriting it.
