BACON BITES!

Did you confirm that the car comes with the roof tool? Not a big deal, but its a nice touch.

Yup, has the roof tool, keyfob, everything I believe. I had him show me how the targa top works since I hadn't seen one before, so he showed me the tool and the 4 bolts to remove it lol.

So with no way to edit the bios im down to one option and honestly i dont feel like messing with it anymore tonight. Maybe it will be working tomorrow if not i pull the hd and order a case for it it and get a new laptop when this job finally gets going. Only other option would be wait possibly months for asus to finally update the bios again. Last update was in november and they took it off their website because of issues.

I didnt. Turned it on and it went into a loop saying acpi bios fail and restarting. Apparently the problem with the 208 bios. Tried to downgrade to the stable 207 but the system wouldnt allow it. So i tried to edit the build date on the 207 so it will think its newer and allow the flash but no go. Downloaded 4 bios editting programs and not one worked with this bios. So my option now is i have to make a dos boot file on a flashdrive. Install a program on the flashdrive as well as rename the bios file bios.bin. Then if the pc lets me boot in dos mode and downgrade the bios. If that doesnt work i will have to get a windows 7 or 8 disk and i dont remember off hand but bypass everything and reinstall windows which will lose the models etc that ive been doing as i hadnt gotten around to backing them up yet. As well as logos and anything else on the pc. Its pretty irritating because its barely a month old. Was going to contact asus about the issue but from what ive read they inform you to downgrade then when the laptop wont let you they stop responding. Some customer service there...

Lemme pick the brain of one of my coworkers who's got a lot more experience with this type of thing than I do and see what he says. I couldn't really find anything online last night because it looks like your laptop is so new that there aren't any threads related to the issue yet. I will say one thing though, and this is a general rule of thumb in IT: if it ain't broke, don't mess with the BIOS lol.
