I had no idea what you were talking about and thought you were making this up but a quick internet search sent me down a two hour rabbit hole on this topic.

That's absolutely crazy. It works perfectly but arbitrarily decides to shut down the computer after 30 minutes because you didn't buy a system with a better chipset to begin with.

All that said, I have no actual solution to your problem, sorry.

You are right...
HM70 supports only intel pentium dual core until B980 and intel pentium like 1000M
You'll need HM76 or HM77 for an iCore

Is the chipset a direct replacement? They could desolder the old one with a BGA rework station and put the better one?

bigbily09 received an answer this morning, and I don't know why he create another topic in different forum section (probably expecting a miracle to happen this way) about the same thing.

Yes you can, I have done it several times.Depending on your model you might need firmware reprograming on a motherboard.

Ok thanks so now i know that cleaning me region is not a possible solution because the timer that was programmed is in the chipset not in the bios so cleaning me is not a solution btw thanks for all your reply but if you have other suggestion im always open to learn new things thanks

Hello.

It's been a while, but I'll share my experiences here on this topic.

Re: hm70 chipset 30min timer

i have solution. me not help to clean so need mod me region.
inject this me region

In my case (for my laptop) Your dump not worked.


I have laptop ASUS X401A-WX095V (intel HM70 chipset) - originally came with Celeron B820. I swapped CPU to i5-2410M (from Toshiba Satellite Pro C660 on HM65 chipset) and like other Users every 30 min laptop suddenly turned off. But...

Yesterday I found a solution which is as follows:
1. Dumped BIOS from EEPROM using external programmer (I using latest BIOS for this laptop ver 212),
2. Next used Hex editor for downgrade ME Region to 7.0.4.1197. I used stock/clean ME Region 7.0.4.1197 for this downgrade purpose,
3. I flashed back new modded BIOS with new ME Region,
..and after that, laptop was able to turned on, enter to BIOS, but couldn't boot from any connected media drive (ssd, usb)..., so I applied Linux version of "corna / me_cleaner " from github.
So last step was:
4. I runed "me_cleaner.py -S" script on my new modded BIOS with downgraded ME Region 7.0.4. In my case works first suggested option with capital S from me_cleaner instruction.

Thats it!!
After that my laptop is able to boot from any media drive and working without 30 min shutdown

note:
-my Asus X401A on HM70 had original BIOS with ME Region 8.0.10.1464
-donor Toshiba C660 on HM65 had BIOS with ME Region 7.0.4.1197


Maybe this will help those who are still looking for a solution. Hope it does

Best regards from Poland!

P.S. After running the script in 4th step, You need to again flashed back bios with the second modded bios file.
