Description
BIOS dump for the Sony laptop board MBX-189, made by Foxconn, revision 1.0, packaged as a ZIP of about 0.8 MB. The uploader marked it as tested, though that is their own note and not a verification by this catalog. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Before writing anything, confirm that the board number and revision printed on your motherboard match MBX-189 rev 1.0, and save the original chip contents as a backup first.
For board MBX-189 the catalog also has 3 schematics and 13 BIOS dumps.

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 MBX-189. 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.
