I have found a solution to your problem. Update: Oh yeah, and do make sure to use the latest upgrade. In your error screenshot above I can see you’re using an older update. I suggest you use to create a MS-DOS-bootable USB drive and then run the upgrade from DOS. Of course, you’ll have to copy the update to the USB drive as well.
Rufus settings should be set as following: Then, after booting from the USB drive, simply start the flash program: Then, follow the steps the flash program walks you through. Like the others said, you might want to try the /ForceIt parameter. With a slash, not a dash.;). I had a Dell Latitude 13 (win 10 x64) which I wanted to update the bios to A02.
I tried most of the ways in the forums, which did not work. This is the way I managed to do it using Hiren boot disk. Download file from Dell. Download Hiren Boot Disk and create Hiren Boot disk on USB (Google this if you need to) Copy Dell file to HBD USB Enter Bios of latitude by pressing F2 key at startup. Enable 'start up' from USB and disable all other startup options.
Save and close machine. Insert HBD on USB stick, start computer, boot from the XP option that comes up. Find the dell file on the USB stick, copy to XP desktop.
Open CMD and using CD. Change to desktop. In the cmd box type 'Dell file name' /forceit. A box open up with option of updating Bios etc. Minimize CMD box.
Click yes to update Bios. I cant remember if there was another box confirming update but if there was I confirmed. Left it for a minute - nothing seemed to be happening. Manually rebooted machine. On the next reboot Bios update started and completed. After HBD options came up, opened XP and shut down normally. Went into Bios, reenabled boot option I had previously disabled.
Machine booted into win 10 x64 with new bios. Problem fixed. Hope this works for you, try at your own risk. Just got through this 'upgrade bios without battery' hell on my Acer E11. The following worked for me:. Download the BIOS update from Acer site (ZHK116.EXE). Run the downloaded file, you will get an error like 'No battery' or 'Low battery', stay on the error dialogue (!).
Navigate to your current users temp directory (e.g.
Every time I start the laptop by pressing the on/off button it is starting, lights are blinking, drives are spinning, but it will not show any output on the screen. It will not show the Dell splash screen, nor will it show any boot menu or other options. By repeatedly stopping and starting it will eventually show the splash screen after which it will start Windows normally. Normally I would need more than 10 attempts before it is starting as it should. Laptop is running on Windows 10 (64 Bit-Version 1709-Build 16299.248) with the newest BIOS version (A17). These are the steps that I have already performed.
System recovery to an earlier date. Reset the BIOS to default values. Removing and putting back the CMOS battery.
Removing powerplug and laptop battery and holding the power on/off button for several seconds. Tried starting with and without devices connected. Tried 'updating' and downgrading the BIOS version to A16 or A17 but this fails with either ' ERROR 216 - Failed to read BIOS from ROM! Status = 1604' or ' ERROR 105 - Command line error! Status = 105'. Already tried updating within Windows and via bootable USB. Checked the device manager for any missing components like the GPU.
All seem to be present and recognized. Ran Dell diagnostics and ran the thorough test and everything was OK. Anyone any other ideas? Regards, Bas. This system doesn't have support for Windows 10, so you may need to prepare a flash drive with an earlier version of windows to do the BIOS update. That said, if your system is not running in stable fashion, it is better NOT to update the BIOS.
If the system is taking multiple restart efforts, remove the battery and try without it - if the system will power up reliably without the battery, the battery may be on its way out. If not, chances are the mainboard is on its way out - it's not uncommon that in older systems (and this one is 5-6 years old now) for cold solder joints on mainboards to start to fail - and one common symptom is that the system will be hard to start from cold shutdown. For that, there's little you can do short of replacing the board - which in turn may make it time to consider a new system. Hi ejn63, Thanks for your reply. There is actually no need to update the BIOS, because it is using the latest version, but I read some articles about having a corrupt BIOS that could prevent normal start up. That is why I was trying this step. Unfortunately the battery is not the issue, because the issue remains with and without using the battery.
Indeed if it is an issue with the motherboard it's better to have a look for a new laptop. For now I am using the sleep mode so there is no need to POST start. Regards Bazureus.
