One
says it doesn’t support while the other says this bios update is compatible
with my model .It appears to me that this is not consistent. Now which is
which? As an end user, my logic is to follow my instinct to just follow the
sony.com site as i believe this is where i should seek support in the first
place.
Now
my query now is how can i restore the original bios built from the original
version?
Is there a way to retrieve the original BIOS? if not, then how i can solve this?
