# UEFI Firmware Update : Penguin Pro 14


# What you will need:

1. USB flash drive formatted MBR Fat32. NOT ExFat!


# Flashing

1. Place pro-q670m-c-si-*-tp.cap on the root of the Fat32 formatted USB flash drive.

2. Plug in the USB flash drive before powering on the machine.

3. Boot into UEFI (Press the Delete key on start)

4. Using the right or left arrow keys, navigate to the Tool section.

5. Under Tool, select "Start ASUS ExFlash" using the down arrow key and press enter.

6. In the EzFlash utility, navigate to the correct drive (maybe FS0 or FS1) using the up and down arrow keys (look for the *.cap file) and press enter.

7. Use the up or down arrow keys to select the pro-q670m-c-si-*-tp.cap file and press enter.

8. A prompt will appear warning you to backup Bitlocker* keys before flashing. Make sure to select yes and select yes on the
second confirmation prompt. 

9. The UEFI firmware will be updated. Wait until the machine turns off. DO NOT turn off the machine during this process.

10. Wait 20 seconds after the machine is powered off and then press the power button exactly once. The machine should turn
on after 5 - 10 seconds. Afterward, the power light will flash. The memory is retraining and it's important to not turn 
off the machine during this time. It can take 2 - 5 minutes for the machine to post.

11. You should be greeted with the AMI screen. Press F1 to enter UEFI settings.

12. Using the left or right arrow keys, navigate to the Exit section.

13. Using the up or down arrow keys, select "Load Optimized Defaults" and press enter.

14. Select "Save Changes & Reset" and press enter. Let the machine reboot.


* You should not have to worry about backing up Bitlocker keys as this is exclusive to Microsoft Windows. However, if you
used the TPM for attestation or to store other types of keys, prepare for these keys to be erased.
