Are there such firmware with option to bypass asic check 
One of my board have 77 asic instead of 78 and it just powers it off which is a shame. I'm sure it could run with 77 asic. :( l3+ is able to run with less than 72 asic.

Thanks in advance.

If you are looking for a factory firmware that could bypass ASIC check then there is no factory firmware that you can find here or even in Bitmain's support page.

You can only bypass the ASIC check if you install a modified firmware try to check the BraiinsOS you can able to bypass those broken chips.

You can find the official thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036844.0

Thanks for the reply. I have tried brainos, but the chain doesn't appear in the dashboard. On stock firmware, it appears but not hashing as the board shuts down because it has 77 asic instead of 78. Care to explain if there are other settings I need to set or something ?

Would be better to inspect the log and see, but there is a problem with that chip or its neighbors. The heatsink probably lost adhesion causing it to fail like most x17 machines out there. Also, it is pointless to compare it with the old L3+ which is from 2018, maybe the L7 but not the L3+. Bitmain uses a serial connection and most single chip failures are enough to shutdown a board. Usually failing just the last one would work but, voltage control in the modern miners is done in a single place (at the PSU) so there is very little room to compensate unlike the old ones where it could still be regulated per individual board; and of course the even older ones you had full control freedom for each chip. Maybe if you went with Geckoscience instead...
