    MSI Z590 MS-7D07 rev 2.1 EC Firmware

    Hello there.
    I have this mainboard (MSI Z590 Gaming edge - MS-7D07 rev 2.1) with these symptoms.
    1. SIO_3VA ON
    2. ATX_5VSB ON
    3. 3VDSW ON
    4. Mainboard stucked in Deep_S5 state

    Problem:
    RSMRST Incative. (Obviosly everything dead)


    Tried just for fun to update the BIOS with its Bios flashback function (Push button and USB stick with bios in it).
    Main Bios restored succesfully.
    When updating Bios all the voltages comes on except PCH which is not needed.

    EC Controller: NCT6687D-M
    External SIO Firmware on SPI Mx25v2033fm1i-hf

    Long story short:
    Replaced SIO Controller with china stuff: same behaviour
    Replaced SIO Controller with NCT6679D (took it from an ASUS). The voltages come on but the board does not start (different pinout)

    Cleared SIO Firmware on SPI and with original controller on: The board starts at full speed telling there is an error on RAM and after a minute the error moves to VGA.

    With the SIO Firmware cleared, i lost the Bios flashback function.
    Restored SIO Firmware and Bios flashback is on and running again.

    So basically i think there is some kind of corrupted EC firmware as the only thing i see with an oscilloscope there are a lot of communication between SIO SPI and SIO Controller and it seem to hang while reading from it.

    I am not able to exctract this firmware from the main BIOS (seems its not into it).
    With FlashImageTool i see only a EcFirmwarePointer wich leads to nothing.

    Now the question: What to do next?
    Thank you

    Need real mobo dump of BIOS v402 for ASUS PRIME Z590-A - stock image no help
    by DynaxSC
    Hi,

    I have a serious problem to program the Z590 chipset SRAM with a Management Engine after replacing the chipset.
    The new chipset is factory new and is not containing any Management Engine. Any attempts to program it into the chipset under Windows ends with a failure (eg. Error 20: Management Engine Device not present, or something similar).
    Due to the lack of the ME several ports on the board, including all M.2 ports aren't working, booting OS works only on USB. So it's now other way, as to program the chipset with a ME.

    Usually on ASUS boards it worked...

    [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
    by zenius
    Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

    Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

    Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
    by Wahaz
    Hello,

    I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
    So I thought it was a Bios problem.
    I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

    🛠️ MSI GP75 Leopard MS-17E71 – No Display, Deep BIOS/EC Troubleshooting
    by macabook
    Hello everyone,

    I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
    🧩 Initial Issue
    • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
    • External display (HDMI) shows
    ...
