ASUS S101-R1-1G-UNLOCKED

BIOS .rar 627 KB Shared

BIOS firmware package for the ASUS S101 netbook, labelled R1 with 1G and UNLOCKED in the name, supplied as a 627 KB RAR archive. The name suggests a modified image intended to remove a restriction, likely related to the 1G memory size, though the exact nature of the change is not documented. Before writing it with an SPI programmer or flashing tool, back up the original chip contents. Also confirm the extracted image size matches the flash chip capacity, since a mismatched file will not fit and can leave the board unbootable.

The button opens the matching file on RM Schematics, or a source page if it is not catalogued there yet. The original attachment is from @IT_SERVICE_WORLD. Enginerys does not host this file.
