Description

BIOS dump for a Sony laptop, board number MBX-204, supplied as a RAR archive of about 0.8 MB (original file name Sony_vaio_bios_orig_m850_mbx-204.bin.rar).

Before writing anything, confirm that the board number on your motherboard matches MBX-204 and back up the original chip contents. The file name mentions m850, but the facts here do not confirm the exact model, so check the labels on your own board first.
