Description

BIOS dump for the Sony laptop board MBX-214, supplied as a RAR archive named MBX-214 nvidea VPCCW13FD M870.rar. The file name suggests it is tied to the VPCCW13FD model, but the facts do not list a chip size, revision or extra flags, so confirm those against your own board. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Check that the board number matches yours and back up the original chip contents before writing anything.

For board MBX-214 the catalog also has 4 schematics and 5 BIOS dumps.
