      Additional info. After attempting BIOS update from Windows the computer failed to reboot screen went black. Computer will turn on, Power LED, Charging LED, but will not load windows. No display on LCD nor on external monitor. System powers up, but the computer seems to stop after accessing the hard drive. Letting it sit 30 to 60 min. has not resolve the issue. Tried BIOS recovery via ASUS.ROM, AMIBOOT.BIN, AMIBOOT.BIN and ctrl + HOME does ping the USB flashdrive, but no change.

          what's the point of masking win key since it is registered to microsoft servers? Think, it's for free!

              [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 Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
              by pirati
              Hello everyone,

              I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

              When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

              I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...

              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
              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...
