Time to stop haunting the forums and just ask for help.
Sony Vaio sfv14n13cxb with insydeh2o bios
Motherboard replaced by Sony under warranty but didn't fix the problem. Sony released a bios update that specifically addressees the issues I have. The problem is that I cannot update the bios. After lots of reading and searching and dumping and editing platform.ini files I have discovered that the upgrade fails because of missing version and serial number strings in the baseboard and chassis sections of the smbios. I discovered a post with a similar problemĀ here.
I would like to know how to write this information into the smbios so I can update it. Also, any information regarding Sony's bios recovery procedure for this machine would be appreciated.
