I have an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 motherboard.
I went to update the bios to 2603 but first modded it for HP SLIC 2.1 using the dynamic method. I hadn't done any bios mods for a few years, and forgot about the eccentricities of the ASUS efi bios. I used the dynamic method because that's what PhoenixTool 273 defaulted to. Unfortunately I had forgotten that a few years back, I'd already installed the ASUS SLIC 2.1 (permanent) in the bios, using the new module method.
I then installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 only to discover that I no longer had the "Dim the Display" option under "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings". I reinstalled Windows again, same result. I tried a different Windows 7 disk, same again. It was fine before the bios flash, so I'm assuming that my activities were responsible.
It's just a little thing, but I want it back! Everything else works, it will turn off the monitor and it goes into Standby as expected.
What I want to do is return the bios back to stock and then reinstall a modded bios when all is working.
Can anyone help me with the return to stock bios?
Thanks in advance.
