    need bios fix for Asus X1603Z mainboard X1403ZA rev2.1

    Hi guys, I need the bios fix for the model as in title. The laptop shows blinking battery led, the battery doesn't charge at all and the voltages are all present. I post here the dump of the bios ic, read using a TL866.

    Model: X1603Z
    SN: N7N0CX065847284
    Mainboard: X1403za R2.1

    Thanks to everybody.

        I mean, if there is a guide or something I could do it myself. Otherwise, I would appreciate a lot for the support.

          The serial number from the QR code is different to the one you posted. N728NBCX007P63MB .Do you want a bios with the current SN or the one from the QR

            The serial number i've written in the first post is on a QR code on a sticker in the back cover. The QR code I last posted is on the motherboard, so I guess this one is the correct one, am I right? I don't really know why they do not match, maybe this is not the original motherboard for this chassis, I don't know. But imho I need to go with the motherboard SN.

                Thank you but still nothing. Not doing anything, only slowly blinking side white led.

                  As I said before, is there a sort of guide to follow to fix these files so that I can try myself? The problem seems to have already arisen before to other people, and as far as I've read, it has been fixed. Thank you

                      I think the bios i posted is good, but until someone confirms it`s working or not we won`t know. If you can find a schematic/repair guide test hardware.

                        Many people around here and other places have experienced this blinking power led and nothing more, and solved with a bios fix. I have all voltages, including obviously the 3.3 for the bios chip, nothing more than that.

                          [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...

                          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...

                          I know there is somebody who can tell me what is happening with my laptop. For start, it is an asus vivobook s510ua with an asustek x510ua motherboard with an intel i5 7200u cpu and 16gb ram.. i have a screenshot from speccy before strange things started.. as you can see the laptop type and bios version x510ua.302.I don’t manually update the bios because i don’t like to having a bricked bios, i know what troubles that gives..

                          I did a fresh win 11 install, and after the automatic updates, windows rebooted and automatically started asus ez flash.....
