    ASUS PRIME B550M-A AC weird behavior

    Hello, I need a little help

    I got an ASUS PRIME B550M-A AC Motherboard, bad BIOS, it wont display or boot, unless I did CMOS Restart first, after that It will boot but if I modified the configuration of the bios and saved it ,again no image

    I got the BIOS .CAP file from ASUS official support, used a tool called ASUS CAP to BIN, and programmed it to the IC, soldered to the board and got it to boot correctly, all the way to Windows, but now the CPU fan stays at full speed all the time and if I try to power it off with power button it will restart instead, and there are probably more issues I have not seen.

    Any help will be appreciated

    Original dump attached

    Thank you in advance, cheers!

          the bios posted is longer...copy and post again...

          The bios chip must be unsoldered from the board before writing or reading..
          do not use the clip, you may have errors..if you do not have anything to unsolder it with,
          solder wires between the programmer and the bios chip..​
          Due to a lack of donations, server free space at a critical level, and possible closure of Bios Requests all donations are welcome, click:

                      Hello!, I can confirm that this BIOS is working, CPU Fan and QFan control are responding and not at full speed all the time anymore, also powering off is working correctly, will continue testing all the way to Windows and report if necessary.

                      Thank you very much for your help!

                          Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo
                          by throwaway327
                          ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
                          Model No: RC72LA
                          Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

                          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...

                          Activation of Management Engine after exchange Z590 chipset - ASUS PRIME Z590M-PLUS
                          by DynaxSC
                          Hi, i have an ASUS PRIME Z590M-PLUS board, which had an shorted Z590 chipset. I have succesfully exchanged the chipset to a factory new one, however there is a serious problem with the Intel Management Engine (later on: ME) not beeing activated after the chipset device replacement.

                          For lower chipset families (on ASUS boards) it worked to program the oldest bios version into the SPI rom, and the bios had activated the Management Engine itself by default - there was a message on the screen prior booting - "BIOS is updating Management Engine ..... . Do not shut down to prevent...

                          Asus GL731GT Boot loop
                          by trbovan
                          Laptop is a GL731GT with the I7-9750h and GTX1650.

                          Full model number is gl731gt-rb71-cb

                          Issue: Laptop was password protected with admin password. I extracted the Bios with the CH341A and ASprogrammer. I Initially saved the backup. I then scoured the internet for a rom to flash to the chip. I found a file and flashed it. I then read it back to verify and mistakenly over wrote my backup of the original Bios.

                          I assembled and tested anyway. The bios worked, I was able...

                          Asus laptop won't boot (no power) - possible bad caps?
                          by jrodefeld
                          I would like to see if anyone could help me salvage a very expensive laptop that is no longer working.






                          The model:                           Asus Zenbook Pro Duo UX582L

                          I have used this laptop lightly since I purchased it new in 2022. I have always taken precautions to take care of it the best I could, and have never done anything that would risk causing damage to it or shorten it's life.

                          However, around six months ago, the laptop stopped working on battery power. It continued to work fine when plugged in, but as soon as power was disconnected,...
