    Post the laptop serial number, barcode and/or QR code stickers on the motherboard.

      Hi SMDFlea, the serial number is KBN0CX037369468.

      I can't see any barcode on the motherboard, but has a QR code sticker that you can see in the attached photo.

      but can boot with linux or winpe via usb
      Most of the time it hangs booting and fan runs a little fast.

      Perhaps ME region is corrupted, but don't know if that could cause the problem with ssd.

      Thanks.

            Seems that problem is not a bios problem, perhaps it is a pch related issue.

            With your dump is not hanging with linux anymore, but it hangs when power-off or at sleep.

            I'm going to test another dump found internet and post results.

              Hi, I didn't notice that the motherboard is not a X432FLC, but a X432FA.

              I really don't know if someone else reprogram this bios before, but bios chip has been never unsoldered. (pomona clip perhaps)
              So I will try to test the x432FA bios if I can find one.
              new bios from Asus are a nightmare, seems that they have it in exe format.

              Can you explain how to extract bios portion from that exe files?

                motherboard is not a X432FLC, but a X432FA.
                I have tested a X432FA bios and it does not start.

                I've tested two X432FA bios dump, one of them is bad, (uefitool says "invalid uefi volume"), the second one seems to be good, but doesn't start.

                I've run out of ideas.

                Any advice?

                  No, with ASUS bios, they pack it with a zip file, extracting is easy, you downloaded the wrong exe file. Scroll down to the section below.

                    Hi, I have downloaded the zip version, unzipped it and see that it is 17 Mbytes long, but can not extract the ME region, seems that it is only for use with the ezflash included in the bios setup menu.
                    It is not like HP bios that includes a fully functional dump.

                        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.

                        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...

                        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...
