    Ok, I reflashed original bios again, confirmed the machine can still boot (success) cleared the settings - then reflashed the updated file you provided.

    The video came online (good, I wasn't waiting long enough for the reboots), i went into bios but the Absolute is still grayed out. Any thoughts?
    so it was about poor soldering... did you remove CMOS battery before soldering bios chipset? Try applying defaults and see if works.

      Hi - so i've verified soldering is not the issue (have successfully reflashed many times on this board now). I did remove the CMOS battery before soldering, no issues there. Chip is working.

      On a similar board (Optiplex 7010 micro) I required both the 16mb and 32mb chips to be updated in order for it work. hoaca388 helped with that one. I'm wondering if edits need to be made to the 16mb file as well?

        well, 1st time when you wrote the file I sent you, you said it wasn't work. 2nd time when you wrote it in bios chipset it worked ... so, where was the problem? 32Mb chipset contain Bios_Region so Computrace is in it, no need to modify 16Mb chipset usually but you seem to have also problems with ME firmware. So you need to do a clean ME to your full bios.

                Hi volinakis , I was unsuccessful and got stuck. I was able to install ME Analyzer, get the same output in you screenshot at the bottom when loading my 16mb file. When I go to find the right firmware (attached in screenshot), I does not seem that my version is available out there to use as a base file for the cleaning process. Do you know of anyone that has gotten their ME Cleaned with version 16.1.31.xxxx? I'm only seeing all the guides go up to version 15.x.x.

                Any help is appreciated, I'm really stuck on this next part.

                Thank you,

                - Brian.

                  Is it possible I could just load the bios from this older post to resolve my issue? Or would that not work?

                  Thank you,

                    I tried this and it did not work. I'm trying another bios from this thread for the 16mb to see if that one will work. Really stuck here.

                      Did not work, posting my original files to see if someone else can assist? I'm looking to have absolute disabled in both of these files / cleaned ME please.

                      I've been struggling for about a month in this thread trying to get this fixed, any help is truly appreciated.

                            hoaca388 - these worked perfectly. Can you explain how you performed modifications to the 16MB file to clean the ME especially with version 16.1.32? Or can you point me toward any other resources on how you did this?

                            Thank you,
