Hi, and welcome to my UA-cam channel. I make tutorial videos that cover a gamut of computer and technology subjects: storage, datahoarding, video editing, engineering software, digital music and more.
How to Update the BIOS in an Asus Laptop
In this video, I show you how to update the BIOS of an Asus laptop - specifically, the Asus VivoBook 15 model M515. However, the procedure will be the same for all recent Asus laptops. There are several methods to update the BIOS, but this tutorial will focus on a utility called EZ Flash 3 that resides in the BIOS itself. One major benefit in using this manual method is that it doesn't depend on a BIOS upgrade program running in Windows, so you don't need to worry about Windows compatibility nor do you even need to run Windows as your operating system.
BIOS updates can introduce new hardware support or more importantly, fix security problems such as the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. ASUS also recommends updating the BIOS for certain motherboards if you're looking for Windows 11 support. #ASUS #BIOSUpdate

Nice video, TQ but you forgot to show us how to backup the bios. Always backup before updating guys!
This didn't work for me😔 i received an error
Wow this is awesome 😎 advice. I guess one should be able to cover pins 1,2,3 all together since the internal HDDs don't use 3.3V anyway
i got this modelish of pc about 4 to 5 year back and have now started to upgrade all the parts its basically a new computer all on its own now. only things i havent changed are the front and back fans lmao. had to look up the model cause i cant find any place that can tell me what size aio can fit on top. tho im still a rookie at the whole pc thing. took me like 5 hours to switch out motherboards lmao
Method 3: carefully remove the hard drive motherboard and remove the pin connecting the 3,3v pin to motherboard
I bought my Acer H340 new at the time. I bought a used mainboard bundle and rebuilt it yesterday. GIGABYTE GA-H67N-USB3 with i5 Intel CPU. It works great.
6 years later still wounderful
Macrium Reflect did not work for me. Said there were bad sectors and it was impossible. No suggestions about what to do. Not even saying if the problem was on the source or the receive disc. Used another program (EaseUS Partition Manager) worked perfectly. It cost money but it works.
Epic level instructional video. Perfect balance of details where needed and overall process to follow. Bravo A+++
Thanks for the help...damn, I really wasn't waiting for it to succeed, I had lost hope, I thought it was just another video Thanks man, pls keep it up
thanks
Thank you so much....very informative and valuable tutorial!!!!
Very very detailed walk-through. Love the tone and abit of humor. Fast forward to 2024 a see alot of people replacing the internal itx logic to something way faster but that defeats the purpose. I wonder if I install openmediabox it would be any faster as it requires min 1gb ram. I have a few kiosk demo screens with 15' lcd + intel Atom logics with 1gb ram + 4GB CF card.
Problem occurred while detecting drive. I'm missing the hell outta Linux. Windows piece of sh!t
Macrium is no longer free
Thanks
Worked perfectly. Thank you
Is it also possible to downgrade the firmware like this?
I tried to download the updated BIOS firmware from the HP site, but the only options available are for Windows 10. Unfortunately at some point my HP Pavilion was updated to Windows 11. Am i stuck with the BIOS firmware I have(F.11-06/11/2018)?
I think I posted the last time I used this video. Superb, Again. I just bought a new computer and I'm going to be bringing over a rats nest of SSD/M.2 to the new rig and I have your video in my saved Tool box of Computer upgrade videos. Can't thank you enough. BTW- Macrium doesn't allow the perpetual use thing anymore you either have to use it for 30 day trial or purchase.
work, great video, thanks a lot sir
thanks
How about bit depth ? It shows a blank column only with no inf at all !
Great video, but yeah stupid Samsung had to go the proprietary way of "sealing" off the data so nobody else can use it. Just f***ing great.
I have a question my question is will the 128GB SD card be able to update the firmware update to the latest update for the firmware for 2024 please and thank you.
It doesn't work. Error , error, error........r
Great video.....thanks so much!
Perfectly explained, thank you!
Big ThankYou for this video, it is very good.
This was the first, and thankfully only video I had to watch to get this sorted. Thank you!!
Thank you! This was exactly the solution to my issue.
long live sir ,❤
පල පල ඩෝ ❤❤
WTF were they thinking.
I just rip it off, so much easier lol
I hope both sides of your pillow are cold tonight and I hope you have a great summer my savior and king
Thanks Man It helped me i was curious why the delete was failing you solved and explained it too
good one
After trying 6 different programs to get my old HDD's data and OS onto a new SSD, this is the only video that helped me. Bless those that still use disks and thank you very much for solving days of headache and preventing massive losses of money for me~!
I have a Ryzen 9 and a RX 580 16 GB but what graphics card can fit inside ?
OMFG! I have been looking for something like this! Currently I am using a Python script I wrote that renames all the files based on a json template. lol
What happens if after delete partition override, partition still there like nothing happened, also havent write proteccion or bitlocker enabled, what other thing can i do? Thnx for the video.
Thanks a lot
thanks a lot ;very helpful
You're such a life saver, keep up with the good work💯
I upgraded mine about 5 years ago to Windows Server. From memory I used a USB Stick with automated install. I installed some Drive Pool software. At the time I was sure tha max drive was 4TB though so it is great that you have managed to get more. Your solution is better as it uses native Windows pooling. My battery is dead now so the clock keeps slipping out of sync. Going to replace the battery to squeeze a few more months out of it but starting to think of a replacement. Great device. Glad I got it all those years ago.
This is such a great video with super helpful info! I have this exact PC with the Ryzen 5 2400G. I know this is an older video, but I'm hoping someone might know if this can be upgraded to a Ryzen 5 3600?
I have windows 11 pro that I paid for from Microsoft store it's saying its the wrong key after a clean install how do I fix this issue
2:26 For some reason I couldn't delete my partitions. If your goal is to get an empty disk in order to use it for some other purpose, then the easiest way at this point (2:26) is to type: "clean" and press enter. This will clean up the selected drive. There are two things you have to be absolutely sure about: 1. Make sure that you have selected the disk you want to "clean" (here is how 2:16). 2. DO NOT "clean" the disk with your running OS!
11:25 If you get a "Clone failed - Error 9 - Read Failed - 23 - Data error (cyclic redundancy check)" the work around for me was to make an image file and restore from there. CHKDSK did not help in my case at all even with /R or /F.
great video ! i shucked an 18tb WD Elements and put it into a 5 bay enclosure and it didn't miss a heartbeat and no power pin issue. I have 2 more to do so hopefully they will go as well as the 1st one did. thanks for the video 👌
