    Asus zenbook duo UX481F

    Hi,

    I bought a zenbook that has a bios password, cant go into recovery. so i have used a programmer to get the bios from the chip. winbond 25Q128JVPQ. I thought i could flash a new bios image onto it but it seems like the file is too big and needs to be edited. i have opened both bios files in UEFItool but could not work out how to do it. after spending hours searching i need help!

    i have attached the original and newest bios from asus for this laptop.

    cheers.

            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...

            [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 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 ZenBook UX480F : need help with cleaning the ME region of my BIOS dump
            by mkdj
            Dear all,
            I have a ASUS ZenBook UX480F with the following symptoms:



            I suspect it is a BIOS issue. So I decided to try to clean the ME region. I followed the guide on win-raid, and I believe I have done everything correctly. My problem is: when I open the outimage.bin in ME Analyzer, it says that it is Extracted, and not Region, Extracted as it should be. Is it normal, or did I do something not correctly? This is my first experience editing BIOS files.

            I would appreciate if someone could take time to explain the issue, so that I can learn. But I would...

            Asus zenbook duo UX481F bios pls ?
            by corrize
            Hello, when a laptop try to start with « all system power good » signal ok, and shut down, that could be a bios issue pls ?
            And there is a way to see in the bios file if the program is corrupted ?

            If it is relevant, could you provide the bios file for the Asus Zenbook DUO UX481F i7-10510U - 16Go with Nvidia MX250 2Go
            Motherboard : UX481FL Rev 2.0
            If I have to desolder the chip, I will post the bios file here.

            I add : someone requested bios file here, and don't know if I can use this file ?
