    Problem: Asus Taichi 31 No Post Bios

    Hello everyone,

    Asus Taichi 31 rev 2.0


    It doesn't Post, power light turns on for a few seconds and turns off.
    I think it could be the BIOS. Made backup and now trying to figure out how make it correct using update file from Asus support page.
    Dump is 8 mb but update file is 6mb.
    So I located where files are starting to be different.
    Ending of both files are the same (same version 209) in dump 001FFFF0 and update file 000007F0 stars area with FFs for update file it goes till 000004D0 and there is a part of code which I don't have in orginal BIOS. For dump FFs end at 0015FCF0 and after that it's different kinda code and large amout of it could be those 2mb missing from update.
    But what is that extra code in update file then?


    Best Regards,

    Raitis

          Thanks, dump works. But laptop crashes when starting to load OS and after the crash it doesn't POST, works fine in BIOS without SSD. Could this be bridge problem?

                  That is strange. Now we should find out what is wrong in the mainboard that a SSD makes a damage in Bios content.
                  maybe, the SSD is faulty. have you tested the SSD on another laptop? however, it has the risk of damaging that Laptop too.

                      Well yeah I don't want to have two broken laptops.

                      Don't have second SSD like this one to test it.

                      But good thing is that we have tested and working BIOS to share it with others.

                      Thank you for a help.

                              BIOS file for ASUS F542UN laptop
                              by Sebastian Codrean
                              Hello to all of you! I need help with a BIOS file.
                              The BIOS chip is fried on my Asus F542UN laptop, and I bought a new chip that needs programming. I have a CH341a programmer but I need a .bin BIOS file. On Asus support page the firmware has another extension, .310 and from reading on this forum I understand that that file is not complete BIOS.
                              So, in short I need the "complete" BIOS .bin file to flash on the new chip. Another issue is that on back of the case the label says F542UN but on the sticker on the motherboard it's X542UN.

                              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...

                              HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns - Complete Black Screen - Only video on live usb
                              by iZakre
                              Hello everybody!

                              To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

                              The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...

                              Asus X541UV Windows update KB5063060 deleting BootOrder EFI environment variable? bios fix
                              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...
