    Asus X441MAR Question

    this unit came yesterday with problem that it has no picture on lcd or external monitor (vga or hdmi) but still respond on power button, after checked all power rails is present, changing DDR4 ram module known good had a same result.

    checked dramrst# on pin 108 of ram slot, it only gave 0.6 volt without ram module installed, this board don't have onboard ram & no discrete vga chip installed. i can't tested dramrst# with ram installed because i don't have boardview where i can trace other test point for dramrst# and i don't know where to measure other signal.

    from a lot of info i get, flashing the bios will solve the problem, but i doubt because of dramrst# is missing or is it 0.6 volt on dramrst# of ddr4 sufficient since ddr4 only 1.2 volt and dramrst# signal pulled up to 1.2 volt rail?

        hmmm....
        so, you think the content on bios chip will be read/write by/to the pch and ec without dramrst# present or even without ram installed?
        how do you make sure pch not faulty because of dramrst# absence?

          UPDATE:

          nothing's change after flashed the bios 6 times from different source


          LESSON:

          don't flash the bios when dramrst# signal is gone on SoC system and no boardview available to check other signals

                [TUTORIAL] fix asus bios with bios from asus web support (by razor_amd)
                by razor_amd
                With ASUS, not everything is quite so simple. I will show you my way. It may be longer or harder but it is the right way to do it in my humble opinion.

                For example, you can have 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all being the same model, all of which will have different BIOS versions.

                I will give you an example and my version of preparing BIOS from ASUS website and in the process I am always cleaning Intel ME while doing it so you have fully cleaned BIOS, no DMI data, no password, nothing.

                This is the picture of 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all of them being X555LD...

                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 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...

                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...
