========================
Detailed description：Hello All, I just updated BIOS (using an external USB drive) on my ZenBook UX305F with the BIOS I downloaded from Asus website (version UX305FA-AS.216). The BIOS update took the new version of the file and it seemed like everything was going well with the installation till the software installation went into a restart and the laptop never restarted. I tried hard reset (> 40 Seconds with both Battery and charger removed) and it looks like the BIOS upgrade bricked my laptop. There is battery light (on the side) when I connect the adapter and I don't see power button light coming up or the light bulb (LED) on the side come up either. Any help to recover and get back would be appreciated. Thanks, Sunny

Hi
I would recommend that you should consider a clean install of your existing Windows 10. You can use below guide by Greg Carmack, MVP for this purpose. This is the best method to perform a clean install of Windows 10. (If you want to rescue your files, there is a section Rescue Files when Windows Won't Start)
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved

Thanks for your comments.. I'm not even able to get the Laptop to power up, leave alone a clean install on windows 10... so, getting the Laptop to come up is my first task.. 🙂
You mentioned a guide above, can you please post the link? Thanks

Is there a way to remove the CMOS battery for this BIOS to be reset?
