I don't have a CH341A, but I've seen people having a lot of problems with 128Mb chips when trying to dump/flash them with CH341A.

Files for chip 1 and 2 are different, flash the chips with corresponding images, verify the written files to make sure the chips are correctly programmed and you are good to go, nothing hard or special.
Try AsProgrammer with CH341A support

Edit: I'm trying to upload the bios files, but permanently receive same error :

I just tried again and got the same error . I sent a message to the moderator about the issue. In the afternoon I will try again, if the problem persist I will upload the files to Dropbox and will post a link in the thread.

The problem is with the 25q128.BIN. It won`t upload zipping it seperately,the file is corrupt somehow

...the file is corrupt somehow

I don't think so, most probably it's a forum platform bug:

I didn`t mean the ME management engine firmware, i meant the part of the whole file,something isn`t right with it, its not the file attributes or size.It could be NTFS related.
Anyway the ME firmware is initialized which means its been booted on another machine already, the ME is "dirty" so it would need cleaning, i tried that,the file is still not uploading. I don`t think its a forum platform bug.

I don't think it's a file related, but who knows.

If you clean the ME region already, please spare me the additional work and upload the file here, I mean upload the file somewhere and post here the link.

I also tried many times with no success at all, still same error. Just wanted to tell you to upload cleared ME file somewhere like Dropbox maybe and post the link here for layad, if you saved the cleared file, if not I'll do it myself.

@layad as I promised - below is the link to zip file containing bios image, to be more easy for you I've named the file 25q128.bin and as the name suggest this is image you must program to chip 2 (25q128jvpq). As you mentioned the notebook was working with the image in chip1 and stopped working after manipulations with chip2, so for now leave the chip 1 as is. Just program chip 2 with the 25q128.bin file and leave feedback here.
Good luck

Don't worry, it is the bios chip.

OK try these, again the file names match the chip names (I hope you verify the programmed dump after flashing), so again first program chip 2, if that doesn't help again, program also chip 1 with the corresponding bin file:
