@Sav

Did you do a Clear Cmos after inserting again bios chip ?

Anyway, let's try with a "non beta" bios.

yes i did clear cmos , will try that one now .
What did you change in the me ?

I haven't changed anything in ME and it's very strange even with CH341A programmer you didn't fix your issue.

Anyway, try the 3201 file I linked 2 posts above. Erase and write eeprom (first erase, then do a blank check and at last write the new bios file).

Tried that to still ME in bios is N/A and can’t install IME drivers @Sylar76

It's simply impossible to have ME set as N/A, when ME firmware is coming from an original ASUS BIOS !!!!!

Are you sure CH341A properly write bios file ?

Does it show that bios as 3201 in the Main Information ?

I think there is something wrong when you write firmware with the eeprom programmer.

Edit. I'm going to connect my CH341A and see how it writes firmware with ASProgrammer 1.4.0

pic of bios
Yes i go erase and all fields are ff .then i go open the file you linked then program then verify after thats finished install the reset cmos

Mmmmm it's very strange. It seems something related to flash descriptors. Hold on.

This is a secondhand board and was like this when i bought it just over a week ago so i dont know was done to it to cause it to be N/A
Ok i will wait for your reply thank you

All descriptors unlocked !!!

This should work like a charm.

Ok loading now give me 5
Still the same @Sylar76

I hope it works, as your last screen has something I can't understand. Date is August 13th 2018 ? (One week ago or more) and time is also wrong.

Old photo but same details I can take a new one if you want @Sylar76

So, even with the last zipped file attached ME doesn't properly show in bios ?

I'm very disappointed. Last chance is to try with 1.18v version software of CH341A programmer.

No comes up as N/A

Trying to find a download link to v1.18 and will try last file
