Using Winflash - Asus W5A User Manual

Using WINFLASH

WINFLASH is a simple utility to update your Notebook PC's BIOS. To run WINFLASH, access the All
Programs shortcut through the Start button.
Do not update your BIOS for no reason.
You will be warned that you should only update
your BIOS if you know it will solve a specific
problem. If you update your BIOS using the wrong
BIOS file, your Notebook PC may not boot up.
Text in these screens are examples only and will not reflect

Compare the BIOS ROM (your current BIOS)
to the BIOS image (the new BIOS). If this is
correct, click Flash to write the new BIOS to
your Notebook PC. You need to restart your
Notebook PC and "reset your BIOS". See
instructions on the next page.
When you enter WINFLASH, you will be
immediately asked for the BIOS image file.
Browse to the file and click Open.
You may be instructed to "reset your BIOS". It
entails pressing [F2] on bootup to enter BIOS
setup and selecting Load Setup Defaults, and
then Exit Saving Changes on the "Exit" menu.
