    Your laptop has a 8MB chip and you probably flashed a 6MB bios on it.

    Do you still have the original (failed) bios? You need to use uefitool on the failed bios and replace only the bios content because the first 2MB are the MEI and intel descriptors and usually are not included on bios update files from asus.

    I dont have the original BIOS, I press the "AUTO" button in the CH314A program, I thought the asus bios were complete

    Doing that will make you lose the original SLIC certificate, windows serial number and laptop serial number. There are some extra steps needed if you need to flash a dumped bios. Also, if your dumped bios is from a working laptop you need to clean the ME. If you don't clean the ME from the dumped bios, your laptop may take more than 30seconds to display the ASUS logo and it will shutdown automatically every 30minutes.

    Thanks for the answer, I didn't know that could happen, could you tell me what steps to take to make the laptop operational, the bios dumped was a working laptop

    use AS Programmer 1.4.0 instead of china soft that doesnt work sometimes.
