Description

From the original post:
SONY MBX-238 S0201-2 U35 & U36 WORKING BIOS 100%

BIOS dump for the Sony S0201-2 laptop, board MBX-238, supplied as a 5 MB RAR archive. The uploader marked it as tested. The original caption also mentions U35 and U36, which appear to refer to flash chip positions on the board, though the facts do not confirm which chip each dump targets. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update.

The catalog also lists 3 schematics for board MBX-238.

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 S0201-2 MBX-238. 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.
