[REQUEST] Asus eee PC 1001PX / R101 Recover on Power Loss

[Cebeerre]

Hi all,

I'm new here and came across this forum while googling and looking for options to mod the BIOS of a 1001PX/R101. 

Just to put a bit of context, I had on of these 1001px laying around and have recycled the mobo to be my home router using OpenWRT. I removed the internal mini PCI-E wlan card, and bough a dual gigabit port realtek mini PCI-E card. It works like a charm and performs well, but it doesn't have the "Recover on Power Loss" option on the BIOS so it turns automatically on after a power outage. 

Is there any way to add this setting to the BIOS ? Can anybody point me to the right direction ? 

Right now running the latest version from the website https://www.asus.com/Laptops/Eee_PC_1001...Desk_BIOS/

Thanks in advance !!

Hi, 

I've managed to open the stock bios (it took me a while, I don't have any Windows box at home) with AMIBCP 3.13, but unfortunately the Power Management tab/module isn't there. I've seen though that in the strings the handlers actually appear:

0x0383 -> Restore on AC Power Loss
0x03D4 -> Restore on AC Power Loss

Is there any way to actually force that handler to a specific value so this motherboard always gets powered on on a Power Loss ? 

Thanks !

I've found a trick, at least for the Asus EEE PC X101CH. If the internal battery (CR2032, not the accumulator!) is completely exhausted, the notebook always starts whenever the power is back. It resets settings and date, of course, but in my case this is not a problem at all.
