Is there a recognized, at least 50% charged battery in the system?

Is the AC adapter correctly recognized by the system? F2 at powerup to check.
If you're updating under Windows, what version is on the system?

@Jerome113
run CMD with admin privilegs.
Navigate to the folder with the your BIOS EXE file and type this command:
Latitude_E7x70_1.27.3.exe /forceit and press ENTER
Pls post results

@petermuss It restarts but doesn't proceed with the upgrade. It doesn't show the Dell logo with the updating screen and instead restarts again, going straight to the login screen. Upon checking in dxdiag, the BIOS version is still 1.6.3. Same in stand alone and F12 flash bios.

@Jerome113
use this video to unplug the main battery and coin cell battery.
Power drain the laptop by pressing the powerbutton for at least 30 sec. after unplugging the two batteries.
Reasseble and try to upgrade the bios again.

@petermuss Done still the same. It will do the restart but won't proceed to upgrade. No Dell logo with upgrading progress.
troubleshooting performed.
-unplug bios battery and battery and press power button for 30 sec.
-After the hard reset. Setup bios time. Enable UEFI/ secure boot. Disabled legacy com.
- Do stand alone bios upgrade with version 1.36, 1.13. (Elevated privileges)
- Do CMD upgrade with version 1.36(Elevated privileges)
