    Hello everyone!
    I have Vaio Duo 13 SVD132A14L (the same as SVD13213CXB). Some time ago it became broken. The warranty is over a long time ago. I gave it to the local repair guys. They told me the problem is in the multi controller MEC1633X-AUE on the motherboard MBX-281. They bought a new controller, but can not find EC firmware anywhere. I decided to ask everywhere I can, so I'm asking here - can you please help me by providing the dump/firmware for that chip?
    Also some guy told me it's possible to extract the EC firmware from the BIOS dump if you know the addresses. I've found a BIOS dump online, but couldn't extract the EC firmware from it using UEFITool because the lack of knowledge.
    Please help if you have a knowledge how to get EC firmware.
    And sorry if it's the wrong forum, I've been asking everywhere and nobody can help me so I can help the repair guys that have been trying to fix my laptop for almost a year already.
    Thanks!
