BIOS archive for the Sony VAIO VPCCA series built on Sony motherboard MBX-239, compressed as RAR at about 1.53 MB. The MBX number is Sony's own board designation and is printed on a label or the PCB, so match it before use. Extract the archive to obtain the image and program it onto the SPI flash with a programmer to revive a VAIO that powers on without display. Check the image size against the chip capacity and keep a copy of the original contents in case it needs restoring.
The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
