I’m working on a laptop in which I replaced the PCH, but I’m unable to clean or rebuild the Intel ME region using FIT.
When I load my dump into FIT, it only shows the Intel(R) ME Kernel section. The full ME region structure does not appear.
If I manually replace the ME region inside the decomp folder and try to build the image, FIT does generate an outimage.bin, but the file is corrupted.
After flashing it, the board does not power on — no signs of life.
I’ve identified that the issue happens because my original dump does not contain a complete or valid ME region, so FIT cannot reconstruct it properly.
Unfortunately, I cannot re-read the original chip because it has already been overwritten several times.
Device information:
If needed, I can upload my current dump for analysis.
Thank you in advance.
