    Panasonic CF-20G0247VM BIOS Bad Flash Help

    I usually try to figure these things out on my own but am asking for help now as I have been beating my head against a wall.

    Backstory, I initially ended up with a CF20 Mk2 with a locked BIOS. I used aptio to read the BIOS and made the adjustments to the .rom file and attempted to write it back with aptio before reading other users problems with that setup. Well it bricked the BIOS go figure. Computer no longer boots, black screen. I found a clean BIOS on this forum but now I am having ME issues. So I would rather hand over the aptio dump(pre BIOS brick) and a hardware reader dump(post BIOS brick) in hopes someone can mate the two back together easily. I will then flash that back to the BIOS chip the right way having learned my lesson.

    Details:
    Model - CF20G0247VM
    Serial - 0BKKC52206

    By no means am I asking anyone to do the dirty work for me. Just a push in the right direction of how to easily compare the two dumps and making them whole again. Or if it is just easier to do without explanation I guess I can manage with that solution too.

    I have attached the dumps.

    If you need anymore information please ask. I should be able to respond within 24 hours.

    Thank You

        Superb. It is working and showing a valid ME version now. It also boots a lot faster, so it must have been getting hung up on something previously.

        Are you able to explain exactly what you did? I assume it has to do with rebuilding the ME section?

        Thank You Again
