When I view my BIOS info it says 'American Megatrends', which I assume to be AMI. I intend to request a WLAN whitelist removal later, but for now I'm only interested in unlocking any advanced/hidden features (if any exist). The latest BIOS version for my model is 502, so the file I downloaded from ASUS support site is what I'm providing. I requested an unlock for a Lenovo G700 earlier this year, but multiple flashing attempts yielded errors. Hopefully this will be successful.

Thanks in advance!
Noone is willing to do this? It's just a tablet/netbook hybrid, I'm not considering overclocking it, but I suspect there are hidden options in the BIOS. I'd also like to install a better WiFi card so I can mess around with penetration on Kali, but I suspect there might be a WLAN whitelist. This notebook has decent battery life, it's ideal for running a minimal Linux distro, programming/development, etc. Which is what I intend to use it for.
There is also an issue with not being able to encrypt the Windows partition with BestCrypt. It asks for password twice when powering on, and then hangs on a blinking cursor. I think this is a hardware/BIOS issue. It never happens with 7, only 8/8.1. But since it's a touchscreen laptop, running 8 makes more sense.
I'd really appreciate it if someone will do this. I'll also consider donating to the modder, when the BIOS is flashed and all is satisfactory.
Thanks in advance!
