Description
BIOS dump for a Sony laptop, supplied as a BIN file named SONY VGN-AR.bin with a 1 MB flash chip size. No board number, revision or model beyond the VGN-AR name is given, so confirm that the dump matches your exact motherboard before doing anything with it. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after BIOS corruption or a failed update. Read and save the original chip contents first so you can restore them if the new write does not behave.

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 VGN-AR. 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.
