              I can't explain the reason, i've read on others boards that some people was having problems with keyboard, same mobo version and revision, différents results.
              Anyway, the most important is that each of us found the solution !

              PS: i just tested your bios, because i was having issues with the touchpad, and finally the problem was the flex cable ...

                ok friends i understood you, i think the bios was not the same version, and the bios chip not identical, finally i'm glad that you fixed your laptop.

                              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.

                              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...

                              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...

                              hey all, i did a silly thing and flashed bios to perfectly working board. None of the asus official download bios would work with ez flash. They all gave error saying not supported bios file. I tried using uefi tool to extract it to a bin file but then ez flash wouldnt even recognise it.
                              So, i used freedos and afudos with the aforementioned bin file i extracted and forced the issue. After bios reprogram, reboot and it was dead. Fans spinning but no post.
                              i have a bios writer and none of the .cap files from the official site work either. I just get one spin, then off, then all fans...

                              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...
