X405UQ AS305 rev 2.1 ME CLEAN

BIOS .rar 5.28 MB Shared

BIOS dump for the X405UQ, marked AS305 and revision 2.1, with the Management Engine region cleaned. The model naming matches ASUS VivoBook laptops, though no brand is stated in the name. A cleaned ME region lets the board initialise firmware fresh, avoiding problems carried over from a donor dump. The 5.28 MB RAR is written to the SPI flash with a programmer. Check that the board revision is 2.1, read and save the original chip first, and confirm the image size matches the flash capacity.
