I’m troubleshooting an ASUS ROG Strix B660-I Gaming WiFi motherboard and I’m a bit stuck at the BIOS level. What I’ve tried so far

• Attempted to flash the BIOS using the USB BIOS FlashBack (Q-Flash) port with a properly formatted FAT32 USB drive.
• BIOS file downloaded directly from the official ASUS support page.
• Followed the exact FlashBack procedure (correct port, renamed file, standby power only).

Issue:
The FlashBack LED does not blink at all — no activity whatsoever. Further investigation


Because FlashBack didn’t work, I:

• Removed the BIOS SPI IC from

Hi, Thanks for all you do here.

I have attached my 16MB dump.

EDIT2: All hardware working fine, I think I just need to update my linux booatloader and all gucci
EDIT:
I can get into bios now! I reflashed as instructed elsewhere. With a minimal POST (just 1 stick of ram , GPU, CPU, no drives) I have loaded into BIOS. I am about to reinstall my other hardware components now.

The clips are such a pain to use, soldering would be a great skill to have.

Thanks for the advice in other threads!

To answer my own question, I didn't...

Hello everyone,

I recently bought a non-working Asus Zenbook Pro Duo OLED UX8402ZA that was listed for parts only. The seller mentioned that it had no display output but that the charging lights worked.

When the laptop arrived (without a charger and SSD), I connected a charger and confirmed with a multimeter that it was charging the battery. However, when I tried to power it on, only the backlight of the secondary display came on. There was no image, and it didn’t boot into the BIOS.

I decided to try flashing a new BIOS, but since I didn’t want to desolder...

Hello.
I am looking for a FULL 8MB BIOS dump for:
ASUS A407UB
Board: 36AM1SB1
Rev: 2.0

The laptop has no 3.3V rails after a bad BIOS flash.
Originally the board powered on abnormally (CPU heating as soon as adapter was plugged).
After flashing an incomplete BIOS image, the board is now dead (no 3.3V, no boot).

What was tried:
- Read BIOS guides and recovery methods
- Used official ASUS BIOS file (partial image)
- Tried flashing with external SPI programmer
- Recovery was not successful

Request:...

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.

This is the picture of 3 similar ASUS motherboards, all of them being X555LD...
