    Try Asus S400C fix first, if doesnt work try second if then not working then I dont think the BIOS is the issue here.

              The IC marked JC is a richtek RT8239B . Datasheet: https://cdn.badcaps-static.com/pdfs/...0d40ffc6d4.pdf

                  Do you mean you can`t find the IC on the board or online to buy ?

                  https://www.ebay.com/itm/3pcs-RT8239...p/401541431830

                  I don`t know if the RT8223MGQW is compatible,you`ll have to find the datasheet and compare the 2 IC`s .If in doubt get the original part .

                      No, not compatible. The RT8223MGQW has 24 pins for a start .

                          ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI - BIOS Help
                          by grimacelord
                          Hello,

                          I have spent the last hour on this and I guess this is just over my head, so here I am.

                          I have an ASUS TUF GAMING Z790-PLUS WIFI motherboard here that needs to have the BIOS updated in order to accept the latest CPUs.

                          The BIOS chips seem to come as a set of two: GD25B64ESIG and GD25B128ESIG. My guess is one of them is a fail-safe for the main BIOS? I really don't know. Or one of them is ME and other is BIOS? I don't know.

                          Anyway, I took dumps of both chips and then downloaded the latest update for this motherboard from ASUS's website...

                          ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                          by jbonavita
                          Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                          With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                          With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                          Some issues
                          A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                          B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                          Things I tried

                          1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

                          Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

                          I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...
