“During the BIOS update process, please follow the instructions shown on the laptop's screen to successfully complete the BIOS update. It is important to let the system successfully complete the BIOS update before shutting down.
Manually shutting down the computer while the BIOS is updating will cause the computer failing to power on or will boot to a black screen. If your laptop powers on '''(power LED indicator is on)''' and boots to a black screen after the BIOS update, please try the steps below to see if the issue can be resolved:
1. Please force a shut down by long pressing the power button until the LED indicator goes off and then unplug the AC adapter.
2. Re-plug the AC adapter in and press the power button again to resume the BIOS update. ++Do not++ unplug the AC Adapter or interrupt the process until the BIOS update is completed. Once completed, the system should be back to normal usage.
3. Please enter the BIOS utility and load the BIOS default settings '''(F9)''' before saving and exiting '''(F10).”'''
Anticipating the question, they don’t say if the battery should be removed or not while following the above procedure. I don’t know. Either ask ASUS yourself or try both with and without battery.
