    Hi everyone,
    I need a complete 4-MB-size BIOS file for my laptop asus G73JW. If anyone is into BIOS chips, please back it up and send it to me or create it.
    It's urgent and necessary.

    my email: [email protected]

    Thanks a lot. I'd appreciate it.

    I would contact asus or download their latest bios on their website. The whole 4MB chip may not be filled remember.

    I hate when you help someone with advise or a file or whatever and you get no follow up post to see how things went lol.

    You get used to it after a while, I always try to thank people who do come back though to encourage it.

    Well I think he would have liked the OP get back in touch and give a quick report on the success or failure of the advice given.

    is the bios chip even removable or does it have to be desoldered?

    It would need to be desoldered unless there are programming pads near.
