I CANT UPDATE MY BIOS USING BIOS FLASH BACK

I HAVE A Z170 DELUXE AND CPU 7700K AND VGA RED LIGHT ALWYS SO I THINK I HAVE TO UPDATE BIOS
I HAVE NO DISPLAY SO THE ONLY WAY INSTEAD BUY ANOTHER CPU IS TO USE BIOS FLASH BACK
I DOWNLOAD BIO RENAMER AND LATEST BIOS FILE
RENAME CORRECTLY BEFORE FORMATTED MY USB PEN AN D PUT INTO CORRECTLY USP PORT THAT HAS RED EDGE
THEN I PUT ON COMPUTER AND PRESS ON FLASBACK BUTTON UNTIL IT LIGHTS
IT LIGHTS FOR 3 SECONDS THE STOP LIGHTS BUT REMAIN GREEN FIXED
THIS IS SIMPTOM THAT WAS NOT CORRECTLY FLASHED
I SEE ON YOU TUBE THAT AFTER MANY SECONDS ABOUT 1 TO 2 MIN THE LIGHTING MUST STOP
SO THIS IS NOT MY CASE I DO THIS ABOT 6 TIMES CHECK NAME OF THE FILE AND ALWASY WAS RIGHT AND ALL SEMMS RIGHT BUT I CAN T FASH PRPERLY

"THEN I PUT ON COMPUTER "
Try without starting the pc.

 

[thomvideo78]

I ALREADY TRY WITHOUT STARTING PC IN ALL CASES
THEN I PUT ON COMPUTER IS AFTER I CLOSE POWER AND REOPEN POWER THEN OPEN COMPUTER IF SOMETHING CHANGE

 

[thomvideo78]

IT WAS MY MISTAKE I DONT TURN ON COMPUTER I SAY THAT BUT I DIDNT
I MAKE REGULAR PROCEDURE WITH TURN ON ONLY THE POWER SWITCH OF THE SUPPLY THEN INSERT USB AND THEN PRESS BIOS FLASHBACK

Try with different USB drive, Make sure that it's FAT32 formatted.

IT SEEM AN ABSURD BUT I HAVE ONLY ONE USB STICK
IS AN 8GB SANDISK AND IS NEW IT WAS FORMATTED ABUT 10 TIMES AND WORKS PERFECTLY IN ALL CASES AND HAS NO PRBLEM TO COOPY .CAB FILE

 

[thomvideo78]

IT WAS 32 FAT FORMATTED BUT I TRY ALSO NTFS BEFORE AND WAS THE SAME

 

[alexoiu]

Not sure what's wrong, then. An option would be ordering a BIOS chip on ebay and replacing the board's one.

I FIND IT FOR 16,50 EURO
ACTUALLY I HAVE REALLY SPEND ALL MY MONEY FOR THIS PC
CPU 7700K AND Z170 DELUXE THE REST IS OF PREVIOSLY PC SO I CANT KNOW WHY IT DONT WORK
I LOVE THIS BOARD BUT I READ ON THIS FORUM THAT I NEED A Z270 MOTHERBOARD INSTEAD Z170
I LOVE DELUXE VERSIONS BUT ASUS DONT MAKE AZ270 DELUXE VERSION AND IM NOT A GAMER SO TH ONLE PRIME A IS FOR MEE A POORER SOLUTION
I ALREADY OWN AN Z97 A AND WAS NOT SO SATISFIED AND THEN BOUGHT A Z97 DELUXE THAT WAS BETTER

Then try borrowing an USB drive, format it as FAT32,
download the BIOS file from https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z170-DELUXE/HelpDesk_Download/
rename the file from Z170-DELUXE-ASUS-3401.CAP to Z170D.CAP
Make sure that the extension is visible, otherwise it might be renamed to Z170D.CAP.CAP, which is incorrect.
Check also the manual and make sure that you're correctly locating the USB Flashback port
