Acer Nitro 5 (GH51M LA-K861P) Clean ME Region

[Jasonexe]

Hello everyone,

I got a Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop that recently stopped working. I found out that the 3v rail was shorted because of a dead PCH so i ordered a replacement already and i'd like to clean up the ME Region from the bios dump i made with my CH341A programmer (modded to 3v). I used ME Analyzer along with the other tools needed and came across a issue where i can't replace the ME Region with the other file because the size is too big ? I'm not completely familiar with this and i'd like to know what i would have to do to fix it.

Thank you for helping me, i will be able to test it once the PCH replacement arrived. How did you clean the ME Region? I had no success when i tried because of a file size difference.

Readjust the file size with HxD to the required size. Hope it works.

UPDATE:

The PCH replacement arrived today. I repaired some traces that were not isolated anymore, soldered the PCH and flashed the Bios with clean ME you provided me. Everything works as expected. Thank you!

Edit: after installing everything, it seems like i can’t get audio to work, same for wifi adapter. I get error 10 persistently and for the audio it can’t find any audio device when checking in mmsys.cpl
