Working BIOS for the ASUS X453MA notebook, board revision 2.0, contained in a 9.59 MB RAR archive and labelled as fully functional. It is meant for recovery by writing straight to the SPI flash chip using an external programmer when the laptop will not POST or the firmware is corrupted. Before flashing, read out and archive the original chip, since it holds serials and other unit-specific data, and confirm the board revision and that the image size matches the chip.
The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @biosarchive. Enginerys does not host this file.
