Description

BIOS dump for a Sony laptop on board MBX-215, supplied as a 4 MB BIN file under the original name VPCF1-I7_MX25L320_MBX215 M930.bin. The chip size is listed as 4 MB.

Before writing anything, confirm that the board number matches yours and read and save the original chip contents as a backup. The file name also mentions an MX25L320 chip, so compare that against the chip actually fitted to your board.

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-215. 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.
