Bios is updating led firmware !!

[azurick_91]

hello guys, i'm in trouble with my crosshair vii.

the problems start with some bad shutdown after turning off windows. motherboard don't shutdown.

few days later when i turn on the pc i have this message "bios is updating led firmware, do not shutdown....", since i trried everything. Flash new bios 0702. clear cmos. remove bios battery. flashback recovery with bios 0207 and the other bios. nothing work.

i can boot to windows if i wait enough (1h) but if i reboot or turn off again the "bios is updating led firmware"

Maybe bios is corrupted? any idea?

(sorry for my bad english)


edit : my setup, windows 10 64 bit, 2700x, 16Go gskill

i) Reference below image, when on UEFI 0702 are your version numbers same?



ii) Do you use AURA/any other RGB SW?

x470 Crosshair Hero (WIFI) Same issue LED Firmware Update Boot delay

Same problem...
BIOS is updating LED firmware. Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure.
After 30 to 40 minutes System Boots.
Reinstalled latest Aura Lighting Software no change ;-(
Have reported issue to ASUS support so far no response...
Reflashed BIOS no change..
Will add an image BIOS and LED info once I able to boot BIOS... what a pain..

This there a method similar the aura_update_v01_c6h LED FW flash tool for the X470 C7H LED FW?


LED EC1 Version is Blank????

Now have done a clean install of Windows 10 Pro Version 1809
Allow ASUS Grid to update drivers Version 1.05.35

AURA Now launch with the following error


Reflashed BIOS
Clean Install of Windows 10 Pro
Installed Drivers and AURA software from ASUS Grid
No Joy...



On Power up or reboot
BIOS is updating LED firmware. Do not shut down or reset the system to prevent system bootup failure.
After 30 to 40 minutes System Boots.

If I was in your shoes I'd flash a very old UEFI using flashback. As this would contain older versions of ASUS EC/LED firmware, it should instigate a reflash of each; then I would flash to latest UEFI, again using flashback.

Can someone with this error run this tool (cmd or power shell as administrator), save their firmware and send it to me for debug?

aura82_update.exe -s myfw.bin

You can also try updating to this firmware: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Atmpv-6qHr_6o5VHvIdLs5KJpiPC8Q

No joy... ;-( LED EC2 Version Blank.....

My System still works fine once booted but No AURA Lighting Effects and takes 30 minutes to boot.

I'm going to arrange an RMA return to ASUS via my supplier. This is a pain as I live in a Regional area and the store I purchased the Motherboard is a fair distance away so if I wish to return the Motherboard I will need to take a whole day off to do so. I could arrange a courier or postal return but this will take several days. I'm also not happy about having to teardown my system to remove the Motherboard. Was updating to 1001 BIOS a big mistake... YES
Have now tried to downgrade BIOS to 0801 but no joy at all, the damage has been done... Also have tried the latest beta BIOS as a last ditch attempt.. ;-(

Hi,

As I explained to you some time ago, your problem seems to be hardware (physical connection between your motherboard and its LED module :

Hi,

If the motherboard can not physically access the LED module, it will not be able to update it.

As explained previously on another thread, you have to check that the connector of your LED module that goes to your motherboard is connected (under the LED body).

Here is an example on ASUS ROG Strix Z370-E :

When I talk about checking the connectors, it's under the covers (circled in red below), you have to unscrew the cover from the back of the motherboard for the top left cover :

Hi,

For ROGers who do not see anything in LED EC Version :

"If no any text written in front of LED EC version part, shut down your computer and check that the LED connector is properly plugged-in. Depending on the model of your motherboard, the connector may be in a different location."
