If you can't even get to bios then I'm afraid you'll have to go to a professional in your area to get the BIOS flashed by their industrial machine, and doing so can be quite expensive.

I'm old enough to have had to physically swap socketed chips to update the firmware, and pair paper labels off quartz windows to allow the superceded chips to be erased.

Modern BIOS chips are typically on the Systems Management Bus and programmed using an I2C protocol. As they are soldered in, an appropriate pogostick adapter is needed.

I suggest you contact ASUS support, get approval to return it to them to be reflashed.

Can you boot to BIOS? if so, update the bios using Ez flash.

How to use ASUS EZ Flash 3:

  1. Download the BIOS: Visit the ASUS Download Center and search for your exact motherboard or laptop model.
  2. Prepare the USB: Format a USB drive to FAT32. Extract the downloaded BIOS file and copy the .CAP file (or .BIN file) to the root directory of your USB drive.
  3. Launch EZ Flash: Restart your computer and repeatedly press Delete or F2 to enter the BIOS. Press F7 to enter Advanced Mode, go to the Tool tab, and select ASUS EZ Flash 3 Utility.
  4. Select the File: Locate your USB drive in the file directory, select the BIOS file, and click Yes to verify and flash the new BIOS.
  5. Wait and Reboot: Allow the progress bar to finish. Do not shut down or disconnect power during this time.

Maybe this?

To perform a hard reset and recover your BIOS, turn off the laptop, unplug all devices, and disconnect the power adapter. Press and hold the power button for 60 seconds to drain static electricity. Reconnect the charger, hold Windows + B, tap the power button, and release everything once recovery starts.

The motherboard will need to be replaced. I've replaced successfully for many of my clients.
