You'll need a FAT32 Flash Drive with no partitions, unzip the BIOS (.ROM) file beforehand then copy to the Flash Drive.
Connect the Flash Drive to any of the WHITE USB 2.0 port and press and hold the ROG Connect button for a few seconds until it starts to blink and once it stop 'flashing' you're read. Typically it take 2-4 minutes if that.
