MSI GE 65 - 9SF - Bad flash issue

[L36]

Hi All,
Having an issue with a bricked MSI GE65 - Model 9SF. Bricked BIOS, did not do a full BIOS dump backup including ME region (rookie mistake). Resorted using to the latest BIOS available from MSI to flash the BIOS via CH341A for this laptop.

Problem - I initially flashed a ME update that came out for this laptop as a separate update. Thus, before bricking the laptop the ME version was 12.0.94.2380. PMC version 300.2.11.1025 on the system. The MSI latest BIOS I'm trying to flash back via CH341A contains ME version 12.0.40.1433. PCM version 300.2.11.1024.

The issue I'm facing now is no POST. Power LED blinks few times and turns off. System will not power on at all anymore until I CMOS reset. Cycle repeats again.

Any thoughts how I can progress? Is there a way to insert the updated 12.0.94.2380. PMC version 300.2.11.1025 ME into the BIOS I'm trying to flash that has ME version 12.0.40.1433. PCM version 300.2.11.1024?

I do have the original MSI ME BIN file version 12.0.94.2380. PMC version 300.2.11.1025 but have no idea how to properly roll this into the BIOS I'm trying to flash.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

SKU: GE65 Raider 9SF-653US-BB9988H32GXXDX10MA
Serial: K1905N0007637
