Asus Winflash Utility Download
Milan Kemezy
The above being said (and it being Christmas morning I'm too lazy to verify on my K50IJ) the BIOS system on ASUS laptops appears to have a BIOS flash utility called Easy Flash built in on the Advanced tab of the BIOS screen. Scroll down a bit on this page to see their step-by-step example.
Long story short, the Asus CUSL2 motherboard got a soldered bios chip so I cant get away with my normal usb bios flasher routine, resulting in me finally having to dig up and test my old floppy that ofc didn't work.. So now Im stuck with having to update the bios of this lovely motherboard from within Windows, the question is what program to use? Ive tried winflash and asus live update (requires internet) so far.
It -might- work to format a spare empty IDE drive with minimal DOS files (as found on a flashing-floppy or flashing USB stick) and use that in place of the floppy. If the utility has any bat files bundled you may need to edit the file paths to C drive.
Asus WinFlash utility moved NVRAM data (and default setup values) to the place compatible with provided UEFI image and after the reboot UEFI's built-in flasher was responsible for image update. But in my case it refused to work (although I forced WinFlash not to check image build date) and I'm not surprised that T100 didn't want to boot without access to proper NVRAM data.
ASUS Wireless Console is a utility to provide an on-screen selection interface for the built-in wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth. After installing ASUS Wireless Console, one could use the function key to turn the built-in wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth ON or OFF. ASUS Wireless Console is not essential for that ASUS PC's WiFi and Bluetooth to work but could be utilized when you do not have dedicated WLAN or BT on/off buttons on your PC installed with Windows.
