Hello again, I have tried to update the BIOS using two different methods:
. Using a virtual floppy: the update executable is over 3 Mb, and thus the creation of the floppy fails. . Using FreeDOS: it fails to mount any drives and thus access the executable. Beyond this, FreeDOS is reportedly unable to update the BIOS on Sony computers. Thus the only option left seems to be a Windows re-install, which in my case would force me to remove Ubuntu for reasons of space. I find this too much of a burden to get a VT option in the BIOS (which seems unrelated to issue reported). Meanwhile, I found out that if I switch to a TTY with the lid open the laptop does not shut down. While this is far easier than updating the BIOS, I believe this bug still deserves a closer look.
