    Asrock H81 Pro BTC rev 1.0 Bios - ME Post error

    Greetings,

    I'm in need of a repaired/modified Asrock H81 Pro BTC rev 1.0 Bios, I will attach the bad one as zipped.

    The motherboard is struggling to even POST in its current state, but I've had it to POST a couple times for me to see a "ME FW Downgrade - Request MeSpiLock Failed" error message, and even more rarily a couple of times booting straight to windows with a known good windows drive and being stable for a short while.

    It's been a while since I've worked on this motherboard but if I recall correctly, I have flashed a couple of bios versions from Asrock support site, headers removed for the correct bin size and couple flashes with headers left in being 'wrong sized' bin.
    The attached zip however is the original bios file that got messed up on its own to begin with.

      Same struggles when trying to POST (short bootloops and then 'no signal' when it finally stays on, and when waiting for a longer period it just shuts back down itself).

      Tested with known good components, with iGPU and with a discrete GPU.

        Nothing more can be done with the bios, here is the virgin file from Asrock.

          I think you're right, I guess some internal components are done for.

          Welp, the board can be used for parts if not for anything else.

            🛠️ 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
            ...

            ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
            by DynaxSC
            Hi

            I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
            The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
            The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
            The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

            I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

            Updating a BIOS on ASROCK
            by paulwal
            Hi. I am not too up on installing BIOS so am looking for a little direction installing a BIOS update.
            https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/AB350%...index.asp#BIOS

            I have an ASROCK AB350 Pro4 that is running a P3.00 BIOS.
            CPU is AMD Ryzen5 1500X which I believe is a "Summit Ridge."
            Before I go ahead and update it to the latest version, I thought I would ask whether my plan is right to try and be sure I don't make a mess of things.
            It appears that the latest BIOS for this chip is the 5.80; therefore I need to install (one at a time)…

            BIOS .bin file for ASRock B450M Steel Legend
            by nolaryie
            Hi, I’m looking for a clean, working BIOS .bin dump (16MB) for the ASRock B450M Steel Legend motherboard.


            I’ve already tried flashing the official ASRock ROM file via CH341A, but it won’t post — I believe the capsule format is incompatible.


            Any BIOS version that supports Ryzen 5 2600 is fine (e.g., P2.30–P3.60).


            If anyone has a working board and can dump the BIOS using CH341A or flashrom, I would really appreciate your help.


            Thank you!
