I have a Asus x550ze laptop. This laptop shows me a blue screen and after many searches I found that I must update the BIOS to solve this problem. However, my laptop doesn't have a battery and I always use AC Power.

I have tested many ways and searched many sites but I cannot find a solution for update bios without battery.

winflash.exe didn't help me because this application shows me an error for battery and when I run it from cmd by using /f or /forceit it show me another error like "file can not find".

I downloaded the afudos for updating bios from MS - Dos But it not work and show me error like this : file creating error or file not found.

Does that mean that if anybody loses his laptop battery one can't use his laptop anymore?

Update :

I need update bios for solve bluescreen that shows a error for driver of graphic and i installed latest driver from asus site but i find out this problem comes from bios and i must update it

  • When does your laptop shows you blue screen: straight from the boot or after some time during the usage of the machine? Have you tried looking for the official BIOS updates on the Asus website https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/X550ZE/HelpDesk_Download/? – Alex Ljamin Jan 06 '17 at 01:58
  • A battery is REQUIRED to update the BIOS on most notebooks, what don't you understand about that? In most notebooks you cannot override this in any way (and I cannot find a way for newer Asus devices)... Buy a battery, they are like $14 on Amazon for the X550. Also remember that "newer" devices like this don't have plain old BIOS like the old days, they use a UEFI firmware which although it does many of the same things it *is* different, I wouldn't be fooling with WinFlash or other 3rd party tools unless your ready to deal with a bricked laptop. – acejavelin Jan 06 '17 at 03:07
  • @acejavelin i can't Buy new battery because my laptop can't detect the battery because i fixed my mainboard problems by cutting the battery cable from the mainborad – SAYE Jan 06 '17 at 11:53
  • @alljamin i'm saying about flash bios without battery . are you sure read my question ? i could find bios files from asus and it was't my problem – SAYE Jan 06 '17 at 11:55
  • @AbbasNikzad Honestly, then your out of luck... If the system can't detect a battery then you can't update the bios. – acejavelin Jan 06 '17 at 13:46
  • @acejavelin i saw one answer about this problem in the internet that it can by using afudos and dos oprating system . i installed free dos in my usb flash memory and i copied afudos.exe with bios file inside flash memory but afudos not work and can't detect the bios file . – SAYE Jan 06 '17 at 13:51
  • There must be a way because if can't update bios without battery i can't use my laptop anymore and i must throw it out from window :) – SAYE Jan 06 '17 at 13:53
  • Those tools like AsusFlashUtility for DOS (afudos) are all for the older PC's and motherboards with real "BIOS" not UEFI firmware, they haven't been used in over 6 years and do not work on modern machines. – acejavelin Jan 06 '17 at 16:20
  • Please update your question with all the information you've mentioned in your comments. You left my question unanswered, so I repeat them again: When does your laptop shows you blue screen: straight from the boot or after some time during the usage of the machine? The reason why I ask this is to ensure that it is a BIOS problem not something else. – Alex Ljamin Jan 07 '17 at 00:15
  • @alljamin it show bluescreen after boot and sometimes after welcome screen and its about graphic driver but i searched and asket about this error and the only way for solve this blue screen is updating bios – SAYE Jan 07 '17 at 09:38
  • Have you tried using another HDD? If you computers boots and blue screen appears after the boot it has (most probably) nothing to do with BIOS. – Alex Ljamin Jan 07 '17 at 22:16
  • @alljamin i'm using SSD and i tried it by another HDD in past . i tested all ways but this issue is from BIOS or only Graphic Driver . I worked on Graphic side more and I understood its a bios problem after laptop fixing . – SAYE Jan 08 '17 at 08:01

  1. Download the new bios (for me X75A1AS.412) and copy it on USB key (FAT32).

  2. Start and enter bios, then in bios menu : "Advanced" -> "Start Easy Flash"

  3. When the system will display that you can not update the bios because there is no battery, on your keyboard you enter "risky"

upgrade BIOS on Asus without EasyFlash and WinFlash
