- How to fix the booting to Aptio Setup Utility BIOS issue with ASUS X555 laptops.
This problem is caused by the HDD board no longer having a reliable connection to the mainboard. Replacing the HDD board often resolves this, however in some instances it is necessary to instead swap the HDD into the optical bay in a caddy.
The various X555 models have different HDD boards, so it is important to make sure the correct part is purchased - I sourced the replacement from ASUSParts.eu which has a good part finder - the HDD board is listed under "Sub-boards": www.asusparts.e...

Another tip that works for me on these models is to disconnect the battery.. Then take some Rubbing alcohol 99% clean the motherboard connector and HDD board connector. Let it dry and this will work as well for about 80% of the time.
Great tip!
Honestly, asus really dicked this design. Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
Thanks for your help!
I was troubleshooting a different Asus laptop X552E that was entering into BIOS as soon as it starts.
It turned out that someone replaced the hard drive, but didn't put any screws and with time it got loose.
At the same time what ASUS did doesn't make any sense at all.
Automatically entering BIOS mode without any errors is just plain wrong way to deal with a problem.
Thank you James. My laptop now works.
I did not change anything. I think it was a bad connection. My laptop is fairly new and thought id have to pay gor this fix. Thankfully i found your tutorial. Thanks a lot.
I tried to do it but the Aptio Setup utility is still showing after removing the battery
Did you replace the board?
would you be able to read the hard drive if you pull it an plug in another computer externally ?
In a word: Yes.
just confirmed my suspicions as well, thanks for the straight forward instructions. quick question though, would this mean then, if the board is bad, then your sound will go as well?
I replaced this 2 years ago and i see my self replacing it for the third time
Hola amigo, tengo bloqueada la bios de ni laptop Asus x555la como la puedo desbloquear, ayúdame
What size of screws are the ones that secure the bottom cover? The keyboard/touchpad just snaps down? What is the name of the Rev 3.6 daughter board? What is the name of the smaller daughter board on the far right? The Rev 3.6 goes to the HDD/ SSD? Thank you 🤓 are the 555x laptops sort of lower end?
Hello, if my HDD is not working but my USB still works , could still be this problem or not???
You showed us all the none sense reversal thing but the starting up to see it has been fixed ot not.
You're on mine Christmas list dude!!!
Glad it helped!
I wish I could get help from you I’m so sad
What happen? Did it work?
Great video! I am having a tough time figuring out which sub board to buy for my laptop. It is an ASUS X555LB-NS71. The website gave me about 7 options and I don't know anything about computer parts so besides not getting the ones marked "METAL" as you suggested, I am not sure how to choose from the remaining options.
It'll depend what revision of mainboard you have. If the screw goes through the mainboard and screws into the HDD board then you need the "Metal" as it has the lugs bonded in, if it goes through the HDD board and screws into the mainboard then you need the non-metal one.
What are the other options you're choosing from?
Brue Computing here’s a link to an album with pics of the sub board and the model options for a new one imgur.com/a/1sTO6w7 it looks the same as the one you have so I’m wondering the name of the one you got
This is YBD on another account btw lol
Ty for rhis video i know now how to fix it but know i need a new hdd board and a new sound card asus the probleme is we dont sell them in our country so how i can get them ?
Great video. Fixed mine
I have an asus rog g501, will this part fix it as well?
I expect it has a different variant of the same design?
I own an asus x555ld computer..please show me how to bypass the bios password..i tried all the suggested attempts on how to bypass the password but none worked
Wow your video seems exactly what I am looking for. I too have a rev 3.3 but on the asus website you linked, it's available only a rev 3.1, and not 3.6 as you used. Would this work? I assume it's a previous model, so are they faulted or something? Otherwise I'd have to go for ebay but I am not so trustworthy of the vendors I see there...
I ordered from ASUSParts.eu - they had a 3.1 in the photo, but I received a 3.6.
@@BrueComputing Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, even with the replaced part (I recevied a 3.6 as well), there is not change :( If I now put the hdd in a caddy in the cd tray, will it boot normally or do I need to install new files through the bios?
Will boot normally, BIOS just sees both as regular SATA ports.
@@BrueComputing Isn't the DVD rom port a SATA2 port? Maybe to slow for HDD/SSD?
@@tv175s3 Chipset has 6 SATA ports, 4 x SATA3 and 2 x SATA2, so I'd expect them to use a SATA3 connection, but maybe they don't - I haven't checked it.
An SSD will still work fine with SATA2 though, it'll keep the system going if the connector to the IO board is broken.
My volume is not working and it’s saying detecting volume problems and I can not move my volume at all I Unscrewed the bottom of the laptop and was a headphone jack is it start to smoke a little bit on the connection on the USB port and the headphone jack and the SD card reader come off completely so do I need to replace The SD card reader and the headphone jack and the USB motherboard part my model is f556u can you send me a link in the message and so I can look at the part I need
Hi James, my s510ua powers on but has a blank screen; does this mean I have the same problem?
Happened to my f555 today. Took it straight to the repairman. Still waiting for it to get repaired. I lost my cool at something and banged my fist at the palm rest to the right of the mouse pad, suddenly my laptop strated beeping and shut off to a windows repair screen, then shut down completely, and it booted to the aptio screen.
Just ordered this board for the same problem. I'll let you know how it goes.
Hey i have asus x53u laptop exact problem but where i buy hdd board?
Try www.asusparts.eu
I have a failed asus sub-board, i'm trying to decided if I should just run the computer using a USB 3.0 to sata external setup or try moving the drive to the optical bay. Which would be better performing? Thanks!
Definitely the optical bay! Windows probably won't boot from a USB device (unless you use Windows-to-Go) and obviously there is the risk of disconnected the device whilst in use as well.
Sounds like a good option, much cheaper than the sub-board too. Thanks!
How would a person go about moving the hard drive to the optical bay? I'm a complete noob when it comes to laptop mechanics, but I'm trying to help a friend get his laptop running again. I'm imagining special adapters and longer cables, but I'm out of my element with this.
Criggles I just put this in my laptop and it seems to be working great! It's common for adding a secondary hard drive. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRI8YFN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Criggles just fit the SSD in a caddy like this and fit it in place of the optical drive: amzn.to/2N97FZr
I'm having issues with my friends MSI, it is doing the same and booting to the Aptio Setup Utility only, with HDD & SDD in and even without them. Any ideas?
Check if you see the HDD/SSD in the bios. if not open the case, if yes do a bios reset to default or remove the CMOS battery for 20 minutes (or longer)
when i power on waiting 8 to 10 sec for asus logo
can u solve late display asus x555ld
Worked for me, thank you! Just removed it and then put it again.
Hem.. he replaced the board with the new one... Are u solve the prob just by remove and put it again? Cuz it didn't work for my asus x441...
I'll better take it too the guy who will fix it for me cuz i'm not trusting my slef
may have just saved my bacon! so i'm repairing a broken hdd board for a friend however when the new hdd board turned up when fitted the laptop would not boot up at all. the seller i got mine from confirmed that it worked before shipping, i noticed that the old board did not have the metal around the "top" label ive since purchased the exact same one as the hdd board which is broken. any other ideas why it wouldnt actually start when the "new" board was fitted?
How would you do this to my asus q502l notebook pc? Need help!
I did not see it boot into windows when you fixed it?
Nice Video. I have this same labtop I followed your suggestion on the video but no luck. Remove the HDD board and reconnected but nothing. replaced the HDD board with another and no luck. So will my next thing to do be change the motherboard or what would you suggest? Thanks in advance.
Sounds like it. Alternatively, fit the drive into a caddy in the optical bay and ditch the DVD drive.
No no don't change the motherboard , buy a connector for x555ld from ebay for 5 $ then give it to someone to solder it in the motherboard and the hdd board
@@devdream7838 I appreciate your your input... Luckly I was smart enough and borrowed a passport to trouble shoot my hdd. And also had some old labtop from like 2010 with old hdd. It turn out it was the asus 1tb hdd. It would not be read in any other devices and the other hdds worked and read fine using the passport. And currently using them on the Asus and works fine until I can upgrade.
@@devdream7838 Good advice.
Señores cordial saludo, soy de colombia alguno speaker spanish?, mi portatil asus le he cambiado varias veces el disco, y de un momento a otro deja de reconocerlo,
Hi, I'm also having this issue.Does this affect all the X555 ASUS laptops? I own X555D with X555DG HDD Board rev 2.0. ASUS gave me another rev 2.0 when I ordered saying there's no issue with it. But after replacing the HDD board I'm still having this issue. I even replaced the HDD, didn't work either.
Unfortunately this suggests it is broken on the mainboard side. If this is the case then I'd fit the HDD into an optical drive caddy.
Search for x555ld connector on ebay , and give it to a person that can solder things, he needs to change the connector in the motherboard and the hdd "card" ...
i have x455ld does this method work for it?
Thank u so much 🙏♥
I have asus F555B and fan spins at max speed (CPU temp 37C, load 4%) No reason for that and i think that is a BIOS problem..
Someone know where replace the rtc baterry?
late display show in mine too asus x555ld
Thank you but can do you know
This snsv
Hi where can i buy the flex cable

Good evening, I did all that successfully but I couldn't reboot.. Any further advices?
Fit the HDD in a caddy in the optical bay instead.
What name for this little board?
IO Board
