Those don’t tell you how to flash the BIOS though.

Not on that page directly, but it links right to a other page detailing how to flash bios. (The other page has a section titled almost exactly like that)

The link you refer to is not so easy to identify, and the linked-to page is missing some critical information. Specifically, it says:

"You'll have to locate the Write Protect jumper and enable it."

But it gives you absolutely no clue where the write-protect jumper is, or how to find it. For this critical step, you are on your own.

It's pretty clear that Google really doesn't want people doing this. (Not that I blame them. But still, the OP page does add quite a bit of value IMHO.)

The jumpers are device specific. You'll have to look up where the vendor put it.
