\n– unzip the new bios
\n– stick it on a USB stick
\n– rename it from 1201N-ASUS-0318.ROM to 1201N.ROM on the USB stick
\n– put the USB stick in the 1201, remove all other USB devices<\/p>\nTo update the bios- power off and hold ALT+F2 as you power on. The 1201N has ‘bootblaster’ which makes it difficult to do this (it will often just go right into grub), if you can’t get the BIOS update utility to come up I suggest you get into the BIOS itself (F2) and then choose to disable Bootblaster then try the ALT+F2. The flash utility will load and read the usb stick and update the BIOS automatically, then restart the netbook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
