On the broken eee701: 7) make sure the eee is turned off, insert the flash drive into any USB port. 8) switch the eee on. 9) wait at least 10 minutes. Pray (optional). 10) switch the eee off, then back on. If lucky, it will now be working. HTH -- Rob |

Thanks max24 If you have renamed it to 701.ROM, copied it to the USB flash drive and it is the only file on that, it is already in the root. There should be no folders or other files on the flash drive. Double check that you formatted the USB flash drive in FAT format as FAT32 or NTFS definitely won't work. If the USB flash drive has a light on it which flickers when you read or write files to it, this light should flicker when you switch the bricked EEE on. This indicates that the BIOS update is in progress. If that isn't happening, it might mean that the EEE is unable to perform this emergency BIOS recovery process for some reason (ie it may have more problems than just a corrupted BIOS.) HTH -- Rob |

But what he may have been reffering to is that the recovery procedure describe is whats also used to wipe ones password off of a stolen device. |
