    Asus vivobook s510ua bios changed to x510un

    Hi there,

    I know there is somebody who can tell me what is happening with my laptop. For start, it is an asus vivobook s510ua with an asustek x510ua motherboard with an intel i5 7200u cpu and 16gb ram.. i have a screenshot from speccy before strange things started.. as you can see the laptop type and bios version x510ua.302.I don’t manually update the bios because i don’t like to having a bricked bios, i know what troubles that gives..

    I did a fresh win 11 install, and after the automatic updates, windows rebooted and automatically started asus ez flash.. after about 25% it just shutted down. Laptop was on charging power all the time. You can already guess, but it wasn’t happy to do anything after that.. it only gave me the power on light, and cpu fan started. No power on usb or anything else, just black screen.. I took my ch341 to read my bios chip. An 25B64CSIG. Neoprogrammer detected it good, and i was able to save the bricked bios on my other laptop. I downloaded from asus the 308 official bios file, and worh uefitool i made a new bin file from the asus site and my old brick intel image bios file. After erasing, reprogramming and verification wich was all without any trouble.. (lucky me with an ch341��) i rebooted te laptop and all was working agian..

    Af that point i was happy, so i check everything, cpu temps etc, and looked good.. so i started a new win 11 install, all good.. but i noticed something.. in my bios , and also in speccy it says right now i have an x510un model, with the asus x510un.308 bios.. but that is a different type of this laptop.. not much , only different cpu i think. But still not the laptop i have, and also my mac adress and serial nr are empy in my bios.. I haven’t touched that part of the flashed bios file before rewriting it back to the chip..

    Do you guys think this is going to be a problem? Or just leave it like that and don’t do anything? Onlything not working now is my backlight keyboard, tried downloading new drivers, but i can live with that..

    Sorry for the long story, i hope I explained it good enough. Thanks for any help in advance!!

    Maybe somebody can make an good bios file for me, with the old bricked one, and give it a try with ez flash bios utility?

                  [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 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...

                  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...
