Description

From the original post:
ASUS VivoBook 14 X405UQ REV 2.1 8MB Bios & EC

BIOS dump for the ASUS VivoBook 14 X405UQ laptop, revision 2.1, made for an 8 MB flash chip and including the EC/KBC firmware. Technicians use a dump like this to reprogram the SPI chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update, and the EC/KBC firmware is useful when the embedded controller also needs restoring. Confirm that the revision on your board matches before writing anything, and back up the original chip contents first so you can recover if the flash does not go as planned.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: ASUS VivoBook 14 X405UQ. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
