    ASUS X75VD Rev3.1 - need a clean ME BIOS

    As the title says. I have a X75VD here, MB revision X75VD Rev3.1, on which I need a BIOS that has a clean ME region.

    I have no access to a SOP8 reader so the best I can totally do is attach two photos. One is the PCB revision, and the other is the barcode sticker on the RAM slots that I was told is needed.

    Hope they are useful for you. If needed, I can also provide the latest BIOS update I could find on ASUS' website, which is X75VDAS.409 - the laptop also had 409 already installed when I got it.

    Any help is much appreciated.

      the bios update is 6,146KB ,it has a capsule header that needs deleting using UEFITool or a hex editor, after that you`re left with a 6MB 6,144KB update,it isn`t the full bios,it doesn`t have the ME firmware.There are some full X75VD dumps here but to write them you will need an SPI programmer.

          [TUTORIAL] fix asus bios with bios from asus web support (by razor_amd)
          by razor_amd
          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...

          ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo UX8402ZA BIOS
          by pirati
          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...

          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...

          ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
          by jbonavita
          Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
          With original bios no POST, only LED lights
          With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
          Some issues
          A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
          B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

          Things I tried

          1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

          Asus ROG Ally X -RC72LA - changed hidden bios settings with 'Smokeless-UMAF', won't get past boot logo
          by throwaway327
          ASUS ROG Ally X - (Handheld Gaming PC)
          Model No: RC72LA
          Serial No: SBNVKD001014459

          Hi all, I've spent the past week digging through the forums and guides to try correct my foolish mistake of changing hidden settings while tinkering around, and to be honest my heads overloaded so I'm hoping you'll be able to help.

          I used a tool called 'Smokeless-UMAF' to access usually hidden settings in the bios. I tweaked one or two 'safe' things but made the mistake of tweaking a lot of settings under 'USB/Thunderbolt Configurations' when I didn't know what they did. For...
