    Asus X550LB power on then off fixed.Working dump

    Had this laptop, X550LB, Core i7, nVidia GT740m. It powered on then back off. No short. Remove CMOS battery and it stayed on, but with no display and WLAN led blinking.

    Cause: Corrupted BIOS.
    Attached working dump.

      Thank you very much! It's just what I was looking for.
      Notebook was turning on auto-powered and didn't initialize, consuming current about 0,5A statically.
      Power, CapsLock and NumLock LEDs were on.
      With this dump it became alive again!

        Too little, too late, but don't know, don't care.

        You are experienced enough that you know than when a no power or no picture rolls into the shop fresh with no obvious physical damage, battery missing or good condition and no burns, no smoke, no skid marks, no major electrical shorts, a fresh BIOS flash is the first thing you do.

          [REQUEST] ASUS TUF A15 FA506NF (2021) - Clean BIOS dump needed (UEFI Password locked)
          by ArkzG
          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.

          - BIOS chip: GD25LQ16 (16Mbit/2MB)
          - Tools: CH341A programmer ready to use

          - CPU: AMD Ryzen 7
          - BIOS chip: Winbond W25Q16JVSIQ (2MB)

          If anyone has a full dump or can share from a working unit, it would be hugely appreciated.

          Thanks in advance!

          Request for MX25VB8035F (1MB) Firmware Dump – Asus TUF Gaming H670-Pro
          by Tamo Neko
          Hello everyone,

          I'm working on an Asus TUF Gaming H670-Pro motherboard and need help finding a firmware dump for the MX25VB8035F (1MB) SPI flash chip.

          What Happened:
          I mistakenly removed and erased this 1MB chip, thinking it was part of the main BIOS.
          • I later found that the board has two main BIOS chips (8MB + 16MB), which I have backups for.
          • My backup for the MX25VB8035F chip is just an empty 1MB segment filled with FFs, meaning I have no valid data to restore.
          What I Need:
          • A firmware dump for the MX25VB8035F chip from the same motherboard (or a compatible
          ...

          by Anchar777
          Sorry for creating a second post, I didn't understand how to fix the error in the message. I need help, laptop ASUS P1412CE (P1411CEA-EK0395X) SN: N4NXCV033901146. There was a failure during BIOS flashing, and the laptop stopped turning on. The original, non-working BIOS is attached. Unfortunately, I was unable to correctly generate the BIOS from what is presented on the Asus website. Help me make a dump. Thank you....
