    Depending on how badly the bios is corrupted we might just be able to get the serial number and windows key to transfer to a new bios, if you can maka a backup. Do you have a programmer ?

          Unfortunately no luck . Still the same issue - long delayed startup (turning on) and no backlight. Abscence of schematics means no way to figure out what's wrong and to repair . I even went extra mile for this laptop - ordered an original pre-programmed chip. It didn't help either. Looks like BIOS is not a problem here. Suspect that maybe CPU is on it's way out due to overheating. CPU seem controls almost everything these days...

            Post a picture of the QR code near the ram slot, or scan it yourself and post what it says.

              I know I'm reviving a zombie topic, but did you ever get your bios working again? I bought a GA402RK online that's exhibiting the same symptoms. When attempting to power on, the HDD blinks once then waits about 5-8 seconds, then blinks again and just loops like this. It doesn't matter if it's plugged in to wall power or running off of battery. I tried disconnecting all peripherals and the SSD to see if it acts differently but it doesn't. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

                post S/N, full name and model, motherboard model, ,etc.

                post the contents of the bios chip even if it is corrupted..

                Post a picture of the QR code near the ram slot, or scan it yourself and post what it says.

                  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...

                  [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 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...
