ASUS TUF Dash F15 FX517ZM da0njkmbae0

[hunmike000]

The bios chip of my ASUS TUF Dash F15 FX517ZM (motherboard da0njkmbae0 rev e) has blown up (seen another post like this for a slightly different model so it seems like a trend).
Can somebody help me acquiring/building a working 32MB bios bin file (i am ok to flash it with CH341) for it please?
Serial: N4NRCX02X264157
(Would love to learn how to make a working bios from e.g. what asus provides with bios update but i understand its an incomplete file. Even if i would get
a region file i don't know what to do with it )

I just realized that its not the BIOS chip that has blown up but a 32kbyte EEPROM (EEPROM CAT24C256WI-GT3 SOIC8 8P) [SU200 on ASUS _TUF_Gaming_F15_FX507ZM_60NR09A0_MB2010_FX507ZM_MB_0M_I7_12700H (.FZ).fz] so its unknown contents are forever gone.
Haven't yet tried to read BIOS chip (GD25R256E) as i need to get some tools for QFN8.
Anybody willing to dump the small EEPROM's contents for me? :cry:

Thanks Oasis39!

I finally got the right header for my CH341 programmer to burn QFN chips.

I checked the image you have provided via the Intel Engine & Graphics Firmware Analysis Tool which showed me that the File System State is "Initialized" so I need to clear the ME region to get it into "Configured" state.

I attempted to clean the ME region using MFIT Intel tool. I can decompose the image you have given but unfortunately I am getting the following errors when I try to assemble the image.bin even when I am not touching the ME part (simple decompose the build):

Start decompose 'D:/bios/latest badcap/FX517ZM.bin' image.
MFIT version used to build the image: 16.0.15.1662

Would you happen to know how to deal with this?

Many thanks!
