Please stop misinformed users in general.
You don't hijack a Bios. Also the RTC Battery won't help you to recover a corrupted bios, you need to take in consideration the non volatile Ram aka NVRAM also and the only solution will be using a EEPROM Programmer. On UEFI bios you have a bootblock recovery part that let you factory flash your bios but need to be careful with that. UEFI bios are pretty annoying in a certain way that contain different modules, when you press power button, you trigger all the modules.
Desktop motherboard can come also with similar specs.
Also they use the exact same chipset, just different revision and different size of MB but since while they use exactly the same component, BGA Soldered, is just a soldered CPU and GPU into the motherboard but nothing differ fromthe desktop general motherboard, they share exactly the same components, same goes for the GPU now.

Careful with that, if you really want to do it, do a backup of your bios and use correct aptio (V/IV)etc revision tool /mmtool, do a copy of your backup t and do the modification on the second backup one, to inject the NVVME module, you need to check the csmcore part, unfortunately I don't have any Asus at the moment to help you out about which exactly part to mod.
Concerning flash it won't work the way you try, you need to work with a backup of your bios (keep one safe), mod this one, inject module and flash back with the Aptio tool (Afuwingui) basically you save your bios with afuwingui and you flash back with afuwingui, this can work (their is less risk, because the most important block won't be erase, just reprogram the main bios) you don't need to check all the block, bootblock, nvram, etc (can be grey).
Remember that when you try mod a official bios, you broke the signature, so you absolutely need to do the modification with a backup bios, so the flasher won't check any signature.

Stop being arrogant, where did you see me saying that I know everything ? please don't inverse the role and don't turn this into personal attack.
I said stop misinformed other users, simple as that, because you mostly attack users and think your logic is always the best one.
When did you saw me going to Alienware Forum ? which one you talking about, some with false accusations, I was in contact direct with Alienware managers, not in forum, so before saying non sense, chill and calm down.
Clear CMOS/RTC Battery never recover from a corrupted bios, never, even more when with UEFI/EFI bios.
I'm talking about the NVRAM that hold the previous settings of your bios, corrupted one can damage the Bios boot itself.
and the CMOS won't fix this issue, the only way by using bootlock or EEPROM programmer.
When is corrupt, is corrupt simple as that, your CMOS/RTC Battery is just here to clear bios settings/boot not
to fix your corrupted NVRAM nor Bios. Apparently you have no idea of EEPROM Programmer with clip, you don't need
to pull out any chip anymore on Notebooks/Laptops since while, you can boot on a temporary bios (load from your EEPROM programmer) remove clip and flash back your bios.
Can you hack a bios ? haha, let me laugh at that, people do everyday, yes but you know this avoid warranty, just in case
Bios code writing, Bios in general are write in Assembly/C, anyway, you don't write bios without proper hardware documentation (one from manufacturer) and without important source code/tool dedicated to this hardware, each band have their own engineer to write the bios, you do can mod/perform change on a bios but you don't write like a applicatio, their is different mechanism that you need to take in consideration, so good luck with that, start with VM and take your time initialize just few functions of your hardware.
Get a grip, not sure if I need to take it first. I don't accuse people to be wrong or right, their is fact, if you want you can play with module, mod them, this is the reason why EFI exist aka Extensible firmware interface, where you module is loaded, but stop saying bios code writing this is a non sense.
