VBIOS update for an SIS650 board (Sony Vaio PCV-W20)
Posted: Tue Jan 20, 2009 9:12 am
I was just wondering if there was a VBIOS update for a Vaio PCV-W20. I followed the FAQ and installed the AGP driver, then the latest Uni-driver from SIS and the computer simply locks up whenever I try to install the driver. I can't install the official Sony driver because I accidentally cleared the OEM DMI strings...
The link to the BIOS file is:

But it's all wrapped up in a setup file. I've extracted the relevant files and put them here:

I ran BIOS agent plus and this is what it told me:
