Modded BIOS

I obtained a modded bios thanks to Svet in the MSI HQ forums. I was trying to find a more recent modded bios for the U100 that switched the left ctrl key with the fn key, since I had used a modded bios once with the two keys switched. I found it easier having the ctrl key on the left of the fn key like on a standard keyboard. Since MSI regularly publish bios for the Wind U100, I could no longer find a modded bios for the version I was using - BIOS file name: EN011IMS.10E

I found out that the modded bios files could be downloaded from the MSI HQ forums and so requested for a modded version of the bios I was using, version .10E (it was the first Win 7 compatible bios published for the MSI Wind U100).

I had tried to mod the the .10E bios myself using a key swapping app I found online. However, it didn't work as the bios file read empty when I attempted to flash from the usb drive.

The bios I received was a modded version of the latest EN011IMS.10G file. I was hoping to have the bios version .10E modded as I preferred the display driver for Windows 7 in the .10E bios compared to the more recent bios versions. It still works though and I can finally use the switched fn and ctrl keys.

Sentelic Touch Pad

I replaced the original sentelic touch pad with a synaptic one available from the asus e-store. The mod was fairly easy to do, and it just required a lot of pulling to remove the old touch pad.

It was also a fairly cheap mod, as it only cost $17.00 in total.

Very satisfied with the vertical side-scrolling of the synaptic touch pad compared to the tapping of sentelic, but will require some getting used to.
