In our experience when you mis-flash a Sony laptop there is little you can do except take it to a Sony service centre.arvinth wrote:I have a Sony Vaio PCG F560 laptop

Your BIOS chip is located on the bottom of the laptop almost center under a small door.
The BIOS chip is mounted (soldered) onto a small removable "sub-board". You can either try and find that whole sub-board and replace it, or you can contact me and we'll reprogram your BIOS chip and remount it to your sub-board.
It's not free, there is work involved, but it's nowhere close to what Sony is asking for the repair.
Please pay close attention to the small white "dots" on the BIOS sub-board and the motherboard, you HAVE to line them up when you're re-installing the BIOS.
