Insyde hacking - New Vaio Z - Advanced menu in BIOS

[DeathDealer]

I tried using CowboyComputer's Bios ZIP.

But I get the following error when putting in FLASH HACKED.ROM /F

The error reads:

IHISI 15h fail Internal Error 20
FFC00000
FBTS permission is denied by user.

What does this mean?

Okaay, finally got it to work!

One problem. I changed VGA to static in the BIOS, but now the brightness won't adjust at all. Any thoughts?

Maybe this thread will be of more help to you:

Probably a stupid question but, is possible to backup or restore the BIOS firmware from Windows directly, like the official Sony flash utility does?

Followed the instructions, python script ran without issue, but it seems I've bricked my VPCZ1190X. The machine turns on, but has no display (backlight doesn't even turn on). Any recovery from this?

Sure, but I can't get it to boot to do that...

I tend to think that the flash did not complete properly, or that the patching process went wrong. I don't know what to do in this case, if just the BIOS were in a chip that you could unplug and reprogram outside with a programmer

Quick and urgent question people! The BIOS on my Z13 (VPCZ13M9E/B) is hacked according to the first post by the previous owner. Unfortunately I need to send the laptop for service, and based on what I read through the posts this will invalidate my warranty, right? So, the question is, how can I restore my original BIOS back (the previous owner hasn't kept the original image). So far I downloaded the BIOS image from Sony site, but unfortunately it will not restore, as it reports that the BIOS now is the current version, or in other words, the one I running now is same version to the one I am trying to restore back from the file I have downloaded. Any help is welcomed!
