Description

From the original post:
SONY MBX-223 M960 REV 1.1 IP-009CJ01-6011 WORKING BIOS & EC

BIOS dump for the Sony M960 laptop, board MBX-223, revision 1.1, packaged as a 1.9 MB RAR archive. The uploader marks it as tested and says it includes EC/KBC firmware, so both the BIOS and embedded controller images are covered. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after corruption or a failed update. Before flashing, confirm that the board number and revision match your board, and back up the original chip contents so you can recover if the write goes wrong.

The catalog also lists 3 schematics and 12 BIOS dumps for board MBX-223.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: Sony M960 MBX-223. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
