      Can you direct us to the website you posted that tutorial? We wish to learn. Or any helpful site with tutorials or guides.

          Re: [TUTORIAL] fix asus bios with bios from asus web support

          So basically we are replacing the main part of the update bios which should essentially be the same version bios with the one on the chip? I'm asking because I have been trying to do something similar as just flashing the bios from the website onto the chip makes the laptop not power on.

            I was wondering if this would work as well. Sounds worth a shot as I can always flash back original bios.

                Asus have started to include a Windows installer besides the normal updates. If there`s only a win update listed on the site the update can be extracted from the exe using innoextract . https://constexpr.org/innoextract/

                  but stuff in life happened and im not in industry anymore, although im keeping an eye on forum it has grown on me

                  just as remark, maybe you should repost and make sticky so that it can be found easyer by other people since you have done such a wonderful job...
                  anyway, sorry for OT and keep up the good work mate

                  Anyway, this method can be used on all notebooks, not just ASUS, with others you just have to know what to look for inside BIOS Region. With HP there are BID's (BIOS ID), search it with Hex app and check which BIOS ID you have and need. Sometimes when extracting exe files from manufacturer website you will get only BIOS Region, sometimes ME Region as well with it in separate file and often there will be whole BIOS images. HP has ME regions in firmware section on their website, and I use those (newer) images when I build new BIOS.

                  For Acer it is mandatory to copy DMI, they wouldn't give image on screen if missing DMI data in BIOS Region. Toshiba is easy, maybe the easiest.

                  Lenovo can be tricky, but you often get everything in 1 file. I have written the tutorial on another website but pictures are gone . I wanted to re-post here but I have to do it again someday...
                  I copied your post and made it sticky,both your guides are excellent .

                        Off-topic. To answer your question, no it doesn`t seem so.You`re welcome to add your own tutorial though once you figure it out.

                                The truth is that I had tried around 20 .bin files that I downloaded from several different places. I finally saw this post. My bios is 100% functional again. Thank you a thousand times.

                                  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...

                                  by davidebeatrici
                                  I had 3 people contact me in a week because Windows suddenly didn't boot:



                                  As you can see, all 3 are ASUS computers, but I believe the common factor is the BIOS being American Megatrends (AMIBIOS/APTIO).

                                  The first two recovered just fine after a restart, but the third one didn't and was brought to me. The model is F541UV (X541UV).
                                  Setup allows to add a boot option manually and the operating system boots just fine from both bootx64.efi and bootmgr.efi. However, there is no way whatsoever to save the option(s): upon a reboot the machine goes straight...

                                  Hi, I hope some one has some advice for me. I searched the forums but didn't see anything relevant. I acquired two identical Dell 9010 Mid Tower computers from a business office upgrade (they were going to throw them out). Both of them have the same motherboard (00F82W). One of them works flawlessly. The other one had a corrupted BIOS. I tried flashing numerous main BIOS and EC files from the internet, but none of them worked. I decided to copy the main BIOS and EC from the working 9010 computer and successfully flashed the corrupted BIOS. This got the computer able to boot again and run norm...

                                  Hi!
                                  Went dumpster-diving and found a bricked Lenovo P14S in trash, few weeks earlier. Symptoms - no screen, no POST, no beep, just keyboard LEDs flashing on powerup. Mute button+LED was responding though, and the display self-test was still working (via the key combo Ctrl+Fn+Power held for some seconds, see the Service manual).

                                  Incidentally, Windows 11 have recently started auto-flashing computer BIOS in our region. Even more suspiciously, Lenovo has released a BIOS update just few days before the PC was trashed. About a week later, the BIOS update image has been oficially marked...
