Hi, i tried desolder the chip, but i unwillingly desolder one resistor and i dont know from where. Can somebody took a photo of chip and resistors around? Thx
I received an 840 G3 6050a2822301 motherboard with Manufacturer Programming Mode (MPM) active and unbranded (AMT not set). I succeeded in programming the system information but inadvertently locked the board before branding. As a result, on boot I get a message that the board is in an uncommitted state. The Bios and EC dumps are attached. Can someone either re-activate MPM mode or tell me how to brand the board with MPM locked?

Thanks Poste. Interesting result when I flashed this bios. System booted and a message that system information was recovered from EC appeared. Then a reboot. On checking the system with DMI tools, AMT is now committed and ME is "normal", which is good. MPM though is locked. The interesting aspect is that the serial number and feature byte now in the bios are not the ones I had programmed before accidently locking the board the first time. So this number apparently did not come from the EC. Any idea where this serial number and feature byte originated from. System successfully booted a sysrecovery linex distro from usb, so I think the board is OK. My guess is that to fully enable MPM, both the bios and EC need to be fully clear, but doing this is beyond my knowledge and not sure I want to take any chances since the board is now appears to be OK.
