    Asus X515KA not booting. after flashing bios sometimes i come there. but then dead again

    hallo,

    i have an asus X515KA-EJ058W here.
    just both leds white...he battery blinking without battery connected

    consuming ~400mA and tries to start but nothing happens but fan spinning if cpu gets warm
    if i hold the power button it shuts down and consumes ~30mA i cant spot anything getting warm with thermal....the ec/sio a liiiitle but this is maybe normal beacause it is working ?
    power on again is possible but again 400mA then and no picture.

    now the really strange
    i flashed bios (some version i found on the internet) and resoldered....sometimes it starts then

    the first time i came to windows....restarted and dead again....i tried around maybe new flashed...then without ssd
    sometimes i get to bios....most of the time its completely dead as told above..

    what the hell is going on there ?

    if i read the bios again after it was in the board...there are changes in the bin.
    i think this is normal ? because as it tries to start it writes something to the bios which it has detected ? components or sth ?

    can the bios chip nevertheless be faulty ?

    or is it maybe the EC/SIO ? it has a rare name.... nuvoton NPCE68AAA0BX
    and it might be necessary to program it ?

    also i tried another RAM. but i am not sure if it is really compatible

    i hope you understand my bad english and maybe sbd has an idea

        X270 - Bios flashing help
        by Timeeez
        Hello everyone,

        I am still a beginner and want to learn more about flashing bios. First of all, thank you very much for the tutorials made on this forum it helps a lot.

        Lets get straight to the point. When I try to flash the bios of my Lenovo X270 it restarts several times and always returns to the bios that was there at the beginning. When I get the bios from someone on the forum and write it to the bios chip, I always have the same serial numbers. I have the feeling that the pc is reflashing itself. Where could this come from? How to avoid this problem?

        [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
        by zenius
        Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

        Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

        Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
        by Wahaz
        Hello,

        I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
        So I thought it was a Bios problem.
        I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

        Flashing ASUS UX51VZ with correct bios
        by Flyview
        Hi!

        Happy to be part of this forum for my first post!

        Short story:
        I believe my dad's UX51VZ has an incorrect bios (v207) for a UX51VZH flashed onto it. I'm not quite sure what the differences are between UX51VZ, UX51VZA, and UX51VZH. The serial number of this machine is D5N0CY845932229 and comes up as a "UX51VZ-DB103P" when checked on this ASUS website. All of the bioses can be found at this ASUS website.

        1) Do I have the correct bios or should it be the v205 for UX51VZ? Is there something I can check inside the machine to make sure?
