Here it is.

By the way did you verify the writing content on your eeprom ?

i pressed verify and it said ok thats all i needed to do ?

Try to use the 1.18 version linked. Now I'm going to try my CH341A with a Winbond eeprom.

Ok no good on version 1.18
Doesn’t seem to load the me version for some weird reason but does all the other files .
It’s late so I’m off to bed if you think of anything else let me know please.

Maybe your mobo has some strange Jumper ???? Did you check it ?

I did notice one down the bottom left but not sure what it is for no label

And did you check Mobo manual ?

Anyway with my CH341A no problems at all. Bios eeprom is properly detected with all data and no errors at all.

Edit : This is my method for flashing with CH341A programmer and ASProgrammer 1.4.0

1) Unzip ASProgrammer, and connect CH341A with the Jumper on 1-2 pins into an USB port.

2) Install Drivers from Device Manager under Windows choosing drivers automatically after inserting the path of the unzipped dir of point 1).

3) Open ASProgrammer, and go to Hardware menu selecting "CH341a".

4) Click on Read ID icon (the one with the question mark) in order to show a list of compatible/detected eeprom, which should be a Winbond (in my case W25Q128FVIQ a 128 Mbit eeprom).

5) Now click on the "Open File" icon and select the bios file you want to flash into eeprom.

6) Click on "Programm IC" icon (the one with a red arrow pointing to left). This operation will unprotect, erase and program chip automatically and will also verify that the content of the eeprom is the same of the loaded file.

Reinsert chip in the right way onto housing motherboard socket. Do a clear cmos and enjoy a fully working bios again.

If this method doesn't work, then motherboard is faulty or there is something avoiding to properly load bios modules (maybe a protection jumper).

Ok will try that tonight
I checked the manual no reference to the jumper, searching on the net a guy from asus says possibly spin programming jumper. Others say Ln2 jumper .
Not sure but if it’s not loading it possibly it’s the spi one

We have already done this ?

Since you programmed in unlocked FD BIOS in post #84, you can now use FPT to rewrite the ME region
FPTw -rewrite -me -f biosfilename.bin

after that enter following and system will reboot
fptw -greset

Which is what lost in bios said in post 100?
Any bios file or the first modded bios I tried with those commands ?
I will try that and if it doesn’t I will do as in post 97

Yes.

But you can also take my bios, rename it as bios.bin then follow asus steps and write under command promt fptw64 -me -f bios.bin (for example).

So bios in 84 fixed ? @Sylar76
