    [REQUEST] ASUS TUF A15 FA506NF (2021) - Clean BIOS dump needed (UEFI Password locked)

    Hey guys, I have an "ASUS TUF Gaming A15 FA506NF (2021)" that's locked with a UEFI password, I need to reprogram the BIOS chip but can't find a clean ".bin" file for this specific model, I've tried the official BIOS updates from ASUS support page, but they're 32MB updaters that don't extract to a usable 2MB .bin file for direct chip programming.

    What I currently have available:
    - Model: FA506NF (2021)
    - BIOS chip: GD25LQ16 (16Mbit/2MB)
    - Tools: CH341A programmer ready to use

    Does anyone have either a clean 2MB .bin dump of this model, experience with FA506NF password removal or alternative methods for this specific model?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    2MB is likely GPU VBIOS, don't touch that one, main BIOS is 32MB, look for a chip with "256" in the name near the CPU, also it's 1.8V, you need 1.8V adapter for the CH341A otherwise you'll damage the BIOS chip or the CPU

    Also read forum rules please

      Dell OptiPlex 3090 Micro – Clean SPI BIOS dump needed (password locked)
      by Swatou
      Hi everyone,

      I bought a used Dell OptiPlex 3090 Micro with a BIOS administrator password that I cannot remove. Dell support refuses to help without the original proof of purchase, and the seller is unreachable.

      I would like to try flashing the BIOS chip with a CH341A programmer, but I need a clean SPI BIOS dump for this exact model.

      Here are my machine details:

      Service Tag: 50P1BB3

      Express Service Code: 10925963391

      Form factor: Micro

      I can share my current BIOS dump (read with CH341A) for comparison if needed....

      Request HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 (J06) BIOS dump to restore system firmware
      by Ahari
      Hi all,

      This is my first post here (I am very new to forums!) and I hope someone can help. I am looking for a full dump of the BIOS of a HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 so that I can get this mini server running again. (BIOS version J06 2019-04-04, chip 25Q064A). I think my board was partially bricked after a failed BIOS update.

      I got it second hand in this state and all the normal attempts at bios restoration have not worked. I have even desoldered the chip and tried to load the actual BIOS from HP, but it is missing some parts needed to boot the system.

      I...

      I need a BIOS dump for the Samsung S49CG934SU monitor
      by Habble7
      The Samsung S49CG934SU monitor does not power on - no LED indicator activity and no response to power button. However, when 21V power is connected, it immediately draws 0.8A of current with no display output. The motherboard processor gets warm, and there is continuous reading activity from the W25Q128BV BIOS chip.

      Suspected Cause:
      I suspect the BIOS may have been corrupted during a power interruption while updating the firmware. The official website provides firmware updates, but they can only be installed via USB flash drive.

      Troubleshooting Attempts:

      ASUS Prime Z790-P (NON-WIFI) Bios dump and questions
      by kinojk2
      Hi, Thanks for all you do here.

      I have attached my 16MB dump.

      EDIT2: All hardware working fine, I think I just need to update my linux booatloader and all gucci
      EDIT:
      I can get into bios now! I reflashed as instructed elsewhere. With a minimal POST (just 1 stick of ram , GPU, CPU, no drives) I have loaded into BIOS. I am about to reinstall my other hardware components now.

      The clips are such a pain to use, soldering would be a great skill to have.

      Thanks for the advice in other threads!

      To answer my own question, I didn't...

      BIOS Dump for Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15ILL9 (83HM) LNVNB161216
      by dragic98
      Model: Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15ILL9
      Machine Type Model: 83HM
      Motherboard ID: LNVNB161216

      TLDR: I would like to have the clean BIOS dump file for my laptop model.

      Issue: First, my speaker wasn't working/showing up, so I downloaded the recommended BIOS update (from Jan 4, 2026) on Lenovo Support for my laptop. This didn't fix the speaker issue after restarting, so then I shut it down and pressed the power button for 60 seconds to perform a reset. I'm guessing I somehow messed up the BIOS because now the laptop won't turn on even after trying the NOVO button on...
