[REQUEST] Asus X53E (K53E) BIOS Unlock

[minirossi]

Hello there,

Sorry this has to be my 1st post but I know this website has become the 1 stop place for BIOS mods and looking around with the search feature I noticed someone had released and then deleted a fully unlocked BIOS for the K53E.

I Dont really honestly trust myself with editing a bios yet for this machine so I would like to ask if anyone else could put together an unlocked bios (as unlocked as possible at least)

I really want to gain control of a few areas of my laptop such as the ability to disable turbo boost to save heat and battery life.

Here is a link to the latest BIOS for the laptop: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/K53E...1473233217

A huge thanks in advance if anyone has the spare few mins to assist me!

I modded your BIOS, I enabled all options that I could enable and I attempted to enable the chipset tab as well (you'll have to flash the BIOS to see if it's there or not)

First of all: I am not responsible for any damage you do to your laptop!

Requirements:
AfuWin 3.05.04 > Download
A backup of your original rom
The modified rom > Download

Extracting AfuWin:

1. Open up "afuwin64.zip"
   
2. Extract its contents somewhere
   

Backup your original rom:

1. Open a command prompt as admin in the Afuwin64 folder you just extracted
   
2. Type "AFUWINx64.exe backup.rom /O" (without quotes)
   
3. Save the generated file somewhere safe so you can still access it if you pc won't boot
   

Installing modified rom:

1. Make sure your laptop is plugged in
   
2. Close all windows
   
3. Disable your antivirus
   
4. If you have windows 10, make sure no updates are pending (so it doesn't auto restart during the flash)
   
5. Copy the modified rom you downloaded to the Afuwin64 folder
   
6. Make sure that the modified rom you copied is EXACTLY 2621440 bytes
   
7. Go back to the admin command prompt in your Afuwin64 folder
   
8. Type "AFUWINx64.exe K53EModded.rom /GAN"
   
9. If you get any sort of error like size mismatch, DO NOT flash the bios
   
10. Press Y when prompted
    
11. Restart your laptop and see if it worked
    

Please post your results here if everything went well or something went wrong, if you do get a size mismatch error when trying to flash please send me your backup.rom that you generated!

Hey nnvt!

First of all thanks for taking the time to try this!

The results was mixed.

All but Chipset was actually open to me! But... it left the laptop unable to boot from its hard drive and had issues using the internal keyboard and mouse.
I Was able to recover however by hooking up a USB Keyboard and Mouse to my laptop as well as a Windows 10 Install USB Drive I had made. I then used win 10 installers Command system and flashed back the backup and the laptop worked normally again.

Hi, I'm really smart in the k53e BIOS modded, so I can greatly appreciate the VRAM because I found the theme where I was modded to unlock, but there's no way to increase VRAM

Sorry if I bump this thread but on my Asus X53E (K53E technically) I don't have the chipset tab :/
Is it still locked, can I somehow unlock it by myself (got the AMIBCP and SPI Flasher ICE) or isn't it just unsupported?
