I contacted Asus as to what to do, and all they could do was tell me to reboot, and hold the power button down, etc. Nothing worked. Then they quoted me like $800 to fix it as 'the motherboard must be bad'. I went on Ebay, found the exact same BIOS chip programmed from a third party. Purchased one of the BIOS readers on Amazon after reading that you can program it as long as you don't have power to the motherboard. I read the chip from the third party vendor, and flashed the bios chip in the laptop to a very old BIOS. Fired right up.
They continue to have that BIOS on Windows update. If an unsuspecting consumer who upgraded a pretty useless drive on a $1600 laptop updates it, they may brick their machine. Even after explaining all of this to Asus and doing the process over the phone with them, they failed to assist at all. They deliberately have a BIOS version out on Windows update that has the potential of bricking the laptop. I will never buy another Asus product.
Laptop still runs fine if I ignore their 'recommended' update. Planned obsolescence. Such a dirty practice.

If it drops that low I'll jump on it for sure. Is that $750 new? If thats the case - hoping I could get it even cheaper open-box.
yea open box was like low $600s? Current open box i see is $601-$643
FYI, stopped reading after that because the rest was certainly *nonsense full of even more projection and needless emotion clouding what could have been a rational discussion.
*I reviewed your work without actually reviewing it....see how fair that is
I would pull the trigger again… esp for 700$

I might give this a shot I think. I know what to expect with a T14s, so might as well try this and return if Im not impressed.
Anyone have a review I can watch?
And can you charge over USB-C? or is that data only?

Yes you can charge via both usb C ports.
though again the best battery life ive ever experienced in a laptop still goes to my macbook pro m1.

1. Do all Asus laptops update bios from windows update? I usually use thinkpads and those are usually done through a specific lenovo app. I would prefer to manually update my bios onceI know its safe to.
2. Do you think it really had anything to do with the SSD swap? If you just did a fresh windows install to the original SSD it is essentially the same as putting in a new drive. Could it have had something to do with secureboot or one of their keys?
3. There was no option to recover bios without manually flashing? I know some motherboard have dual bios or a fallback
4. Did you use this type of tool to read and then write? https://m.media-amazon.com/images...ybsWRS
5. Did you stay on that old bios or did you ever give upgrading a chance? Did they ever address it or release a newer bios update for that device?
For the price im giving this a shot, but will return to best buy if theres any suspicion of it not being perfect.
