Description
BIOS dump for a Sony laptop with board number MBX-196, packaged as a RAR archive of about 0.8 MB under the original file name Mbx-196.rar. A dump like this is used to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. The facts available do not list a model name, chip size, revision or cleaned ME region, so confirm the board number and revision printed on your motherboard match before flashing. Back up the original chip contents first so you can restore them if the write goes wrong.

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-196. 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.
