I have an Asus Transformer Book T300LA. I noticed updated drivers for the touch pad in Windows 10 with some new features. I installed them, but they didn’t function properly. After reinstalling, it still didn’t work. I checked Asus’s site and found a BIOS upgrade for Windows 10, thinking that might help. Still nothing. Then I downloaded a BIOS update and installed it using the preinstalled WinFlash tool—previous times it worked so I trusted it. The laptop restarted with a green semicircle in the center and another in the top left. After about an hour, it didn’t change anything, so I powered it off and tried to restart again. I realized that was a mistake; now pressing the power button doesn’t do anything. The fans aren’t spinning, and the charger light stays on even when unplugged, not turning off. Is there any chance I can flash the BIOS again, or is my motherboard damaged and needs replacement?

You might take the laptop to an ASUS repair shop for a fix or purchase a replacement and update the BIOS yourself using this link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203585702653?ha...BMkNyzyL5h

Your motherboard allows BIOS restoration: yes. If not, it requires a different approach or a replacement board. I experienced a failed BIOS flash on an HP PAVILION laptop without success with BIOS recovery, but managed to get the issue fixed over the weekend using an extended warranty.

I reached out to Asus tech support, who mentioned a BIOS recovery option, but it appears severely damaged, making a replacement necessary.

Enables reading and writing a CMOS chip without powering the whole board. You don’t require a CPU or RAM on the mainboard, just a separate computer to operate this feature. It functions with most devices.
