System BIOS for the Sony VAIO VPCEB15, a model built on the Sony MBX-223 motherboard, with M960 listed alongside it as the board code. The 1.58 MB RAR suits recovering a machine with a corrupted flash that powers on but shows no image. Sony labels its laptop boards with MBX-xxx numbers on the PCB. Extract the image, confirm it fits the capacity of the BIOS chip fitted to your board, read and back up the original contents, and only then write it with an SPI programmer and verify the result.
