    Dell 5540 no boot after exiting manufacturing mode

    Hey, im stuck with troubleshooting my Dell 5540 i7 vPro with 203032-1 motherboard. Every time i try to leave manufacturing mode it stops booting. I've tried clean ME Region clean BIOS but nothing really helps. Any help would be much appriciated

    Both chip dumps in attachments aswell as logs from MEInfo. I can't get the originnal bios to work, im only able to boot with clean BIOS

    I've tried to update the BIOS via Dell Update (it skipped ME Region saying it's up to date) with /forceit flag, that didn't help and im suspecting the issue might be somewhere else

    Edit: Im not allowed to post my BIOS twice you can find it here for reference https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...39#post3832039
