    Intel NUC NUC6i3SYH UEFI Update went wrong

    Hi guys.

    I am very new to this business and i have some questions. Maybe someone can help me further.

    I have a 2015 Intel NUC NUC6i3SYH and for some internet and office the computer works perfectly. Lately it has been bugging me a bit on and off. Then I saw there is a UEFI update from Intel and I thought if I put it on, the problems might be gone, but unfortunately the update didn't go through. The screen stayed black and after waiting for a while nothing happened, I had to pull the plug at some point. Of course, the NUC then failed to boot!

    So I borrowed a CH341A programmer from a friend and with the help of Google and YouTube I´ve created a dump of the UEFI with NeoProgrammer. Next i wanted to download the UEFI from the Intel Site, but I only get a .bio file and as far as I found out, I need an .img file? Where do I get the .img file from? Or is it possible to convert the .bio file into an .img file? Or what is the best way to proceed next? Is there any hope at all to bring the NUC back to life?

    I found a UEFI in this thread that might fit my NUC, but it had an i5 in it and I have an i3. Can I just flash the UEFI to my NUC?

    Thanks already.
    Regards,
    Stefan

    Have you tried the bios recovery methods https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/...intel-nuc.html

        I have now extracted the Me firmware from the UEFI dump and put it into the ME Analyzer. This then says that the file does not contain Intel ME firmware. I think that this is also the error. So how can I get the ME firmware into the UEFI so that I can flash it back?

        Attached in the zip file are the two original dumps from the NUC, once the complete UEFI dump and once the ME dump from it.

          Have you used a clip to read the bios ?. The ME is locked in the flash descriptor. I`ll post a bios for you to try.The best way to flash it is to desolder the chip and use an adapter.

            Wow, thanks a lot!!! I will try it tomorrow.

            Yes, i used a clip to dump the UEFI, but i've read also, flash incircuit with the Clip is not a good idea and the chip have to be desoldered. But i thought, before i don't have a working UEFI, i don't desolder it.

            Again, many many thanks to you, i hope this will work!
