Guys please help!

ive got an Asus X501A which has the bios corrupted....

The odd thing is that the dump file has 8 mb when the bios files from Asus are both
6 mb for the x501a and x501a1...

ive tried flashing the both, pc wont start!

Its a rev.3 x401A board - chip Winbond w25Q64FVSIG

Once i write the chip with the asus x501A.213 version the laptop wont start at all...

checked for voltages..board has power.

Can you please tell me which version of bios should i write or if you have a dump i would gladly apreciate it!

And also, why is the dump with the programmer larger than bios file on asus site?

8mb dump / 6 mb bios file

Link is Bios Dump from my Asus x501a - 8mb large

Thank you a million!

Ok, so i sort of got it to start, but the bios dump i found is for asus x501a1, i used mmtool to decode it.

Now my question is this, how do i extract the part of the bios that is not present in the bios image file from asus website and how to merge it to the image downloaded?

Its clear that the bios image file does not contain all the info so i need to extract it from my chip dump and merge it somehow to the bin file from asus.
