That's correct. Every ASUS notebook mod I have done or seen done needed to be flashed from DOS with AFLASH2 using the instructions I included with the mod.
I managed to update the bios with aflash2.exe utility and the same problem still occurs, is it possible you uploaded the original file? I'm at a loss here Edit: I think I know the problem, when I downloaded the file the first time it didn't include any other files I just redownloaded the modded bios and it contains other files maybe that was the problem Edit2: I can confirm it now works DELLQA09_V2.1 Thanks for all your help
