I tried to downgrade my BIOS and now my laptop won't boot windows. I would like to put back the last BIOS I had but I can't do it. When I try through AFUDOS I get the error BIOS write protected.

Asus Zenbook UX31E: Why won’t my Asus UX31E laptop charge?

Thu, 22 Apr 2021 21:38:05 -0700

My laptop was having trouble charging for a brief period. I would have to bend and twist the charger to get the laptop to charge. Unsurprisingly, this caused physical damage to my ac adapter (charger). I was prompted to believe that it was a faulty charger. bought a aftermarket charger that fit and used that until I came across the same issue. Believing that maybe because it was aftermarket, and not genuine replica or genuine ac adapter I purchased a genuine ac adapter only to come across the same issue. To charge the laptop I had to bend and twist the wire into the port at the right angles while applying torque. This continued until I ran across the final issue.

Unfortunately now the laptop doesn’t charge at all. The port seems to be damaged. I brought it to Best Buy yo to see if they would be able to fix the charger port. They said the best course of action is to remove the ssd and get a new laptop. I have removed the SSD and have taken a look into the hardware myself. I am wondering if I may be able to resolve this issue on my own.

Any answers, guidance, prompts, or suggestions are welcome, and appreciated.

Asus Zenbook UX31E: White blotch across the top 1/3rd of the screen

Mon, 03 Apr 2017 23:21:41 -0700

I have just received an ASUS Zenbook x31E with a wonky display. The top 1/3 of the screen is white and lined. if I open the laptop up fully, the whole display bleeds to white, and if i change the resolution, the display bleeds to white and then changes, still only showing 2/3rds of the screen. Taking a screengrab results in an image the full expected size - see this example: Image

I theorize that the issue is a wonky connection. So I guess that replacing the screen should do the trick. Any confirmation or rejection of this theory would be much appreciated.
