**If the LED does not light up at all then please disconnect power from the system and remove/
disconnect the CMOS battery from the motherboard for several minutes. Reconnect power

Before using the BIOS Flashback function, please suspend BitLocker and any encryption
or security relying on the TPM. Make sure that you have already stored and backup-ed
the recovery key. If the recovery key is missing while encryption is active, the data will stay
encrypted and the system will not boot into the operating system. It is recommended to dis-
able fTPM before updating the BIOS. Otherwise an unpredictable failure may occur.
