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/?
– alljamin – 2017-01-06T01:58:47.293A 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 – 2017-01-06T03:07:16.077
@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 – abas nikzad – 2017-01-06T11:53:45.093
@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 – abas nikzad – 2017-01-06T11:55:18.550
@AbbasNikzad Honestly, then your out of luck... If the system can't detect a battery then you can't update the bios. – acejavelin – 2017-01-06T13:46:36.303
@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 . – abas nikzad – 2017-01-06T13:51:24.057
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 :) – abas nikzad – 2017-01-06T13:53:41.353
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 – 2017-01-06T16:20:38.893
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. – alljamin – 2017-01-07T00:15:17.540
@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 – abas nikzad – 2017-01-07T09:38:48.680
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. – alljamin – 2017-01-07T22:16:08.730
@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 . – abas nikzad – 2017-01-08T08:01:17.847
