Hi,
My Laptop ASUS Zen pro UX501VW (N501VW_Rev2.0 motherboard) went dead couple of weeks back, so i gave it to ASUS service center, they mentioned to change the motherboard, which is very costly for me so i gave it to local repair shop, they make it to supply the power but in odd way, i mean as soon as, I plug the charger the cooling Fan runs, Led on the power key, F2 Key and Caps Lock turns on by itself without pushing power button but no display and CPU was getting was very hot. They also tried to update/Mod the BIOS but nothing worked.
somewhere i read that, in case of CPU heating you have to deassemble and reassemble the laptop that i did and after that CPU is not getting hot but all rest of the conditions are the same(as mentioned above) except one of the the 8 pin "WINBOND Chip" (Chip-2) is getting very hot within in 5-10 sec. as soon as power is supplied.
I have few questiones below:
1. Does any one know what could be the issue?
2. I am suspecting this could be BIOS issue and trying to flash the BIOS through USB mini Programmer but before i do that, does any body know if there are 2 BIOS chip in this board or only one.
3. In the image/URL below of board which one is BIOS chip (Chip -1 or Chip 2) - Locar reapir shop guy said both are BIOS but, I don't see that as per their description from board shemantic.
4. And what is EE_Hold means on Chip-2 Description
Here are the Images for reference: - Please suggest. - Thanks
