    Asus Zenbook Bios Chip XMC Unreadable by all programmers!

    Hello,

    I have an Asus Zenbook 14 Q408 which the bios chip cannot be read by all my programmers! Has anyone experienced this?

    I had a similar issue in the past with a classic programmer having issues reading XMC chips. But then I tried with an updated programmer, and I was able to read it. But this time I had no luck. This Asus has also a XMC chip. I already searched for a datasheet, but could not find any. XMC 25QV128BHIQ.

    Any help will be appreciate it.

          No, that's the chip number. The problem I'm having is that I cannot read the chip with any of my programmers. There is only one of my programmers that trowed the following error:

          "Chip ID: 0x00205018, the device is not found in the corresponding partnumber."

                  Asus Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
                  by BMCappelletti
                  Long story short:
                  - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
                  - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
                  - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
                  - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
                  (seems like the story was not that short)

                  He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...

                  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.

                  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...

                  Looking for a bios for Asus G512-LV with RTX2060 and bios for VGA chip
                  by maciek1221
                  Hello, I am looking for a bios insert for the Asus Rog Strix G512LV-HN235T laptop. We are looking for input for both the BIOS and the small chip for the graphics card. The laptop came to me after another service with the wrong BIOS (no serial number, the problem with the meregion turns on for more than a minute). After uploading a few batches, I have an exclamation mark next to the Nvidia RTX2060 graphics card, I suspect one of the 2 BIOS batches is incorrect.
                  Config:
                  Model: Asus G512LV-HN235T
                  Platforma: G532LWS rev. 1.3
                  CPU: intel i7-10870H
                  GPU: nVidia Geforce RTX2060/...
