Description

A BIOS dump for a Sony laptop, supplied as a BIN file named CHUNGHWA CLAA140WB01A (SONY).bin. The facts do not give a model name, board number, revision, chip size or platform, so check the file name and your own board's markings before using it. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board you are working on matches the intended one, and read out and save the original chip contents before writing anything to it.
