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.

Re: Need bios for asus X432

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?

Re: Need bios for asus X432

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.
