    New Laptop does not have CMOS, instead a chip

    Hello everyone,

    I'm having an issue with the BIOS. I had previously set an admin password, and recently, I set the password to blank to remove it. It worked fine as expected, though sometimes there's a prompt and sometimes there isn't. Little did I know, I wouldn't be able to update my BIOS from MyASUS Center after a BIOS update last October. I've also noticed that I'm unable to access the BIOS configuration and cannot use a USB drive while in BIOS/boot mode.

    Here's my laptop model: ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (2023) - FA507NU.

    I've done a lot of research but haven't had any luck. I have a programmer at home for the chip but no safe BIOS image to use. I also visited the service center, and they mentioned that they might charge me a significant amount, potentially half the cost of the motherboard, if the laptop doesn't work.

    Has anyone experienced the same issue with the BIOS password or BIOS corruption?

      one thing i know about those,
      because of fucking windows10/11 you have to disable the harddrive encryption and then go into the bios and disable secure-boot or it wont flash.
      it'sa safety thing incase it overwrites the keys while flashing.

          ----------------------------------------------------------

          Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

          A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

          Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

          A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

          The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

          Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

          Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
          by BMCappelletti
          Long story short:
          - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
          - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
          - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
          - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
          (seems like the story was not that short)

          He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...

          Lenovo laptop does not turn on, what does this number mean in a BIOS chip?
          by thxd43
          Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.

          I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.



          The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a...

          Acer e15-e5-576g-5762 bricked. Bios chip won't interface in AsProgrammer.
          by inck243
          Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

          The BIOS...
