I have an ASUS X55A that suffered a bios corruption when i manually changed a bios parameter (enable-disable internal pointing device) and then prompted it to "save and exit".
I've bought a ch341a programmer, retrieved the dump of the corrupted bios, erased the chip and flashed a working .rom (version v413).
The laptop booted and i was able to update the bios to the last available version (v417), which i dumped once again.
I now have these files:
1. original corrupted bios (v417, i believe)
2. working bios v413
3. working bios v417
Using AMIBCP, I see that file 2 and 3 have generic serial numbers, and i guess they also have generic mac address etc. File 1 crashes AMIBCP. All the files can be open with UEFITools but i can't understand a damn, i'm a newbie. The laptop didn't come with a windows license: i used one of my w7-w8 ones, that got later upgrade to w10.
Now the questions are:
a. Will the use of generic serials invalidate my license upgrade?
b. Is it possible to copy serial numbers and other identification codes from file 1 to file 3?
c. If yes, how can i do that?
