ASUS Zephyrus GX701LXS BIOS request

[skipron.rm]

Hello everyone, trust you're doing well.

I'm currently facing an issue with my ASUS Zephyrus GX701LXS, as it isn't posting.
I've downloaded the latest BIOS version, "GX701LXS-AS.311" (v.311), from the ASUS website.
However, there's a challenge – the file size exceeds the capacity of the BIOS chip, making it impractical for writing.

The current BIOS dump ("GX701LXS.307 bios-dump.bin" find attached), is of version 307.
My attempt to extract "GX701LXS-AS.311" using the "AMI_BIOS_GUARD_Extractor" was aimed at combining the dump with the updated 311.
Unfortunately, I've encountered an obstacle: the "BIOS Region.bin" in the dump is 12.288 KB, while the main BIOS on the updated version is only 6.016 KB.

I'm looking for help in extracting the necessary portion of the BIOS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.


P.S. Tried to attach the bios dump and extracted bios-es, wasn't allowed, hope you understand.
Here's the link do download those file badcaps.net

@hoaca388 Thank you! I genuinely appreciate it!

I'm eager to learn, and I hope I'm not causing too much inconvenience by asking.
Can you recommend a source that I can use to teach myself? or, If you could share the steps you've used... I'd truly value it.

Thanks again. Wish you the very best!

Unfortunately, after flashing the BIOS the issue remains unresolved.
The laptop is stuck in a boot loop and doesn't power on

Ok, look at the pictures, pic 2 , extract by winrar.

Amazing! @hoaca388 thank you for sharing this info.

I downloaded the latest ASUS BIOS update, v311, which I believe is 256K larger than the existing dump.
Using the appropriate FIT, I extracted the dump and utilized AMI BIOS Guard to break down the v311.
The objective was to get the BIOS region from it, in order to replace and rebuilding the dump.
However, the file from v311 turned out to be smaller than the BIOS region in the original dump.

With the original BIOS the laptop powers on, but doesn't post. With the new BIOS, it's stuck on bootloop.
Do you have any idea on whether the issue lies with the new BIOS or if there might be something else causing this behavior?

Thank you for your time and assistance. I genuinely appreciate it!

I think your laptop has another error, not the bios.

It is a possibility, though I am hoping that it is not the case.
I'd expect the laptop to have the same behavior, not posting.
I'm hoping that the new BIOS is the reason for it being stuck in the boot loop and I'll continue my search for a solution, and a new bios as well.
Thanks!
