Disable onboard Ram Asus X550LD Rev 2.0

BIOS .rar 2.88 MB Shared

Onboard RAM disable firmware for the ASUS X550LD motherboard, revision 2.0, delivered as a 2.88 MB RAR archive. After programming, the BIOS skips the soldered memory so the laptop works with an SO-DIMM only, a common fix for dead onboard DRAM. Extract the archive and write the image to the SPI flash using a hardware programmer. Make sure the board revision matches 2.0, back up the original contents including serial and MAC, and insert a known-good memory module before the first boot.

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.
