Peste - Thank you so much for telling me to use post #13! It worked!!! It is very late here now so I will continue tomorrow but I need to remove the heat pipe mechanism and put new thermal paste everywhere that it is suppose to go. I then have to find the instructions on setting up the SN, macaddress, and GUID. I noticed that the serial was defaulted to something like 123456789. I will have to prepare a bootable USB thumb drive and load the tools I need to write to the DMI.

Thanks again for watching this forum and helping me out! What a great forum. I will send in a donation...

I can't get a dump of the original bios chip because it got damaged when I had to remove it from the board. It seemed to have some sort of adhesive keeping it stuck down to the board.

Thanks so much for helping me!!...

Hi everyone - first time exploring flashing of BIOS chips. I have a dead ASUS laptop that is only a year old that bricked itself during a BIOS update. I understand MOST of the process. I was able to successfully flash a Winbond chip using the CH341A. But I apparently dont understand the process to get a proper bin file. The one I downloaded from the asus website was slightly too big so I truncated the blank bits at the end to make it exactly 32MB. I wrote that to the chip, reinstalled it, and laptop still doesnt boot. I don't think I'm using a good bin file. I posted in a thread with about...

Hi all - First timer here and I"m trying to reflash a dead Asus G713PV-WS94. The serial is R4NRKD01821217C
Can I just use the .bin file that somebody else uploaded in this thread earlier? I understand about DMI information where I need to program in my SN, MAC address, and that windows GUID number. But I guess I'm wondering if I can just flash using the above bin file, boot it up on Linux and set my DMI info after I can get it booted? Or do I have to hexedit the bin file and add those bits in first?

Also, as I am learning more about this, I asked chatgpt about some...
