Hello everyone,
I need to unlock the bios on Asus X515JA-BQ2625W
The laptop does not have windows installed and I need to do a fresh install.
What are the recommended ways to approach this?
Any help appreciated
Thanks 👍Last edited by billion; 08-02-2025, 01:01 PM.Comment

Hello,
Model Nr: X15JA-BQ2625W
Serial Nr: NBN0CX07101947H
I can not currently post the content of the bios chip.
The laptop does not prioritize windows boot manager, even with a fresh install of windows using a different machine it first prompts to the bios, which doesn't let me dump the flash using software.
I went through the forum rules and guides and found the method on github which works for AMI implementations.
The user dumps the flash using AFUWINGUI.EXE, but I cannot do this as it does not boot to Windows.
I ordered a SOIC8 SOP8 Flash Chip IC CH341A Programmer, and will read and dump the flash using this once it arrives, I will keep an update.
I do not have much experience with BIOS dumping/reading etc..
I'm a software engineer who started a student job for a local repair electronics repair business.
Any tips? Guides?
I have watched several youtube videos and I will continue on reading through forums and other places while waiting for the order to arrive.Comment

I need the bios password unlocked.
I tried deciphering it using the method in the guide for AMI implementations but couldn't make it work
I added flash dump
If someone could provide a new bios it would also be greatly appreciated, don't necessarily need to unlock the password.Comment

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.

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... -
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... -
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... -
Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.
Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...
