    [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
