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.

is there a tutorial on acer bios editing?

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.

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

hm, thank you for kindly sharing your methond... very usefull
anyway, i intended to cover other brands with tutorials (toshiba, acer, hp is very nasty, sometimes bios from web update are encrypted and i found 3 differen methods that work)
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

No problem, I found very useful info here and this is my way of repaying. It took me a while to make this tutorial but I am glad I did.

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 .

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/

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

Thanks a lot!!! Restored ASUS X542UA(M/B X542UQ Rev2.0) laptop, it locked bios admin password.

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

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.

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

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.
