    As you might have read in my previous topic, I have bricked my notebook and refleshed the BIOS directly without any success. Today, we have figured out that ASUS BIOS updates leaves some parts untouched. So when we wiped out and reflashed the chip, those parts were left empty. That's why I need a full BIOS backup instead of a BIOS update file.

    My Asus G73JH: FullHD, i7-720, A5870, BRrom etc.

    Your laptop doesn't have to meet these requirements, we guess any G73jh's backup will serve us well.

    By this, I ask you to backup your BIOS from Windows (preferably BIOS 213). You should use the tool in the link below. Just run it as Administrator, hit read, than hit Backup, pack the file using zip/rar, upload it somewhere and post the link here.

    Tool:
    Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit 2.0.rar

    I would be very grateful. Thanks.
