Asus V241EP Bios

[CG2]

I've got an Asus V241 All in one PC with a blank screen. Shows nothing at all. I've been through all the obvious but nothing helps, so I'm looking to flash the BIOS.

There are two flashable chips on the motherboard, a 24C16WP eeprom with a whole 2k bytes, and a 4Mbit 25L4006E cmos serial flash chip, so I'm assuming the latter. I've pulled it and read it, but I can't see anything and neither can UEFITool, so it's either corrupt or encrypted.

I can download the BIOS from Asus, but the image size is almost 20MB, and I've only got 500K of chip space to squeeze it onto. I guess that I only wnat part of it, but I've no idea which part. Does anyone have any hints where to start?

You must have a bigger storage chip like (64 Megabit or 128 Megabit).
when you find it read it and upload the original file and someone will help you.
Also you should write your device serial number.

D'oh. That's embarassing. There's a Winbond 25Q128JVPQ 128M-bit sitting right beside the battery on the other side of the board. Thanks for the help and apologies for being so dumb.

No Problem friend. if you can't do it by yourself, just upload the file and write your serial number.

Yes tried with working ram and output from hdmi but no post, the power led flashes twice as soon as the power connector is attached.
