    VPCW11S1E MBX-208 request bios

    I am desperate for this bios, I also called sony support
    but they didn't give any answer, they told me that that netbook is obsolete and they don't deal with it anymore, it's absurd even if they haven't produced it for years they should have databases, but who understands them. If anyone in the group has this template and would be kind enough to post it I would be very grateful.
    I extracted the bios that is on the flash, but it is surely corrupt, when I start the netbook the power light turns on and after a while the fan starts, but the hard drive gives no sign of life and the monitor remains off, if it were the video chip at boot the hard disk should show signs of life, but nothing. This netbook has been inactive for more than 10 years and was working, probably the bios is corrupted, the cmos battery is at 1.3 volts, I replaced it but it does not start up anyway. I thank in advance whoever wanted to help me

      You're right I'm sorry and I need it to check if the problem is actually the bios, without the correct bios I can't go on trying to find a solution to start the netbook.

        ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
        by jbonavita
        Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
        With original bios no POST, only LED lights
        With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
        Some issues
        A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
        B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

        Things I tried

        1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

        [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
        by zenius
        Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

        Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

        Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
        by Wahaz
        Hello,

        I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
        So I thought it was a Bios problem.
        I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

        M715q Desktop (ThinkCentre) - Type 10M3 - Request bios chip location and useable bios for use with CH341A Programmer.
        by hotcrossedbuns999
        My pc updated bios through Windows Update and I was greeted with BLACK SCREEN WITH CPU FAN MAX SPEED. I don't think there is even a screen signal, because it triggers my monitor for a couple seconds and then the monitor turns off. I tried the other outputs as well.
        1. I tried clearing bios, resetting bios, removed the CMOS battery, removed m.2 ssd, wifi, and ram. Still black screen with CPU fan blasting.
        2. I tried using the Lenovo BIOS CD and BIOS USB, but neither worked. At least I couldn't get anything to work.
        3. I could only locate two chips that look like bios chips. Could someone verify this

        Bios Request HP 17-CN0023DX
        by David Gee
        Hello,

        I am currently working on recovering my HP Laptop (Model: 17-cn0023dx) after a BIOS corruption issue. The laptop is stuck in a no-boot state, and the Caps Lock light is blinking with a 3.2 code (3 long, 2 short), which according to HP documentation indicates a BIOS corruption failure.

        I have prepared a USB stick using the HP Cloud Recovery Tool, but I confirmed that it does not include a BIOS recovery image for Crisis Recovery. I also attempted to extract the BIOS file from the spXXXXX BIOS update package provided on the HP Support site, but that update only provides...
