Sony VAIO BIOS update without Windows
Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2017 3:51 pm
Hello,
I replace the motherboard of my laptop Sony VAIO SVF15AC1QL (also known as this model: SVF15A16CXB).
I bought a motherboard used as a replacement because much cheaper.
But I can not install Windows because the fan stops while loading the installation CD and the computer heats up and shut down.
Before returning the card to be refunded or buying a new cooler, I would like to update the BIOS but the utilities provided by Sony is launched on Windows only.
So I would like to find a way to update the BIOS without having Windows.
Thank you in advance for your help!
The version of my BIOS is R0200DA and the latest BIOS is R0250DA.
