Type the laptop serial number, full name and model, motherboard model, etc.
Please read the forum rules..https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...before-posting

Your backup is empty (FF FF FF ....), the clip didn't make proper contact, don't forget to use 1.8V adapter or you'll damage BIOS chip/motherboard/CPU; next time please compress as .rar (not rename .bin to .rar)

Hi everyone,

I have an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401QH that I've locked myself out of with a forgotten BIOS password. I've successfully read the BIOS chip using a CH341A programmer with a SOIC-8 clip running flashrom on Linux.

Details:

• Model: ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401QH
• BIOS chip: Winbond W25Q128.W (16MB)
• Programmer: CH341A with SOIC-8 clip
• Software: flashrom v1.6.0 on Kali Linux
• Dump verified with matching MD5 checksums across two reads

I'm unsure of the exact motherboard revision — the only label I found reads 6053B1888101 Rev 0.10 A01 but that may be the keyboard module.



Could someone help me strip the BIOS password from my dump? Backup is attached.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the help The serial number is fixed, but the SSD issue persists. I'll have to dig in for some hardware repair!

Try anyway, but the SSD not detected I don't think it's a BIOS issue

BIOS extracted from ASUS website + what's left of the DMI area (no S/N), have to find a dump of same model to edit S/N
GA401QH
BIOS ver. 410

Also attached the clean BIOS 410

Hi All,

I was told to post my corrupted bios dump here. My Zephyrus G14 GA401QH-211 is missing the serial number in the bios. NVME drives can't be detected by the bios either. The bios version is 410.

Serial: M4NRKD01530915H

Thanks in advance!
