Gotcha I may just have misunderstood then it doesn’t seem like there’s a ton of clear and direct info on these. I’ve tried with no ssd installed but still same issue...

They are soldered to the board, it won’t boot without the dmi this is the issue I’m having...

ive flashed the file, it didnt boot to bios it just hung on the rog boot logo this is somewhat of an improvement though as it was just bootlooping or booting to black screen before. i dumped the bios after flashing and attempting to boot to bios this is what it returned...

hello thank you for the clarification i do really appreciate it, i have made sure to use a 1.8v adapter with my CH341A yes, and ive tried it with other chips from other devices to make sure its working properly and does seem to be reading properly.im not sure how the bios file became as corrupted as it is. the output seems that it is the correct file size but missing lots of data, but the chip itself does seem to be alive and well as its being properly detected with my flashing program and consistently pulling the same file data from the chip...

my apologies i hadnt realized i posted incorrectly i will try to be more aware in the future.

the device i am having issues with is the "asus rog ally z1"(non extreme)
the issue im having is that i received it second hand with a corrupt bios, upon dumping the bios it was lacking the data for me to transfer to a new/fresh copy and im having trouble locating the proper bios file as well as how to add my device info to it without being able to pull the dmi data from a backup

my device info is as follows

model# RC71L-ALLY.ZI_512
serial#...

this is what i got when i dumped the bios...

i recently purchased an rog ally that was used with smokeless and has a corrupt or bricked bios and im trying to find a clean copy of the bios to flash, i believe i may have found one but now im unsure of where to place my serial numbers

any help on sourcing the bios file or where to place serial numbers would be greatly appreciated
