    Asus Notebook GA401I, GA401 IV-BR9N6 bios needed

    Hello! After an automatic windows update - it went through a bios update that has put my laptop into a boot loop that gets shorter and shorter until it just powers on and off. I can make it almost to the login screen and I tried to start the factory reset, but it just keeps entering the bootloop.

    It completely bricked at some point, so I pull the bios, but I couldn't get the DMI and windows key information to build a new one (I tried one of the guides and I can't find it), I ended up just flashing it with the ezupdate file from the asus website using a ch3a1a SPI programmer (also read the bios with this) and it actually got it out of the bricked state, but back to the progressively shorter boot loop.

    I think if someone could build a working bios for me, that would solve the issue and I would be eternally thankful! I'm so tired of working on this thing.

    Some other notes: I had a local shop fix it before from this same problem, but the hdmi port wasn't working after they flashed it, so I let it update to the newest bios version (220) and here we are.

    try. It seems you are using wrong bios update, from GA401IH platform.

      I flashed this one and it's the same thing, it'll act normal for about a minute and then go into a boot loop, each boot getting shorter and shorter until it's just a black screen but "on"

        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 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...

        Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo

        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...
