    ME BIOS cleaning

    I have this laptop who had some short in power lines and bios failure.I repaired short and i found some bios dump on the internet..and laptop would start..but with problems...the bios logo would turn on after 15 seconds or more...and it wouldnt install graphic card drivers (not recognised) so in bios i had only basic display adapter.
    So i used Intel ME/TXE Injector to clean ME region. i have to mention that this is my first time to clean ME region. So i picked first Suitable ME version that program displayed (but not the same number as my BIOS ME version).
    Now everything is ok, bios logo is up in 2 seconds, graphic card drivers installed...but one problem ...Intel Management Engine Interface is showing mark ! with error Code 10. i tried to install few other drivers...but after 30 seconds it goes back to error code 10. And i have to mention that i didnt have this error on not cleaned BIOS (that one with problems above).

    So, what am i doing wrong? Did i have to use ME version with exact number as BIOS (even though the program is saying that others are suitable also) Or something else?
    thx

      You need to reinstall the windows ME driver .Get the driver from the laptops support page or use the latest from win-raid https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/in...ols-2-15/30719

              I don't recommend using this method to clean ME region since it doesn't keep the configuration set by the manufacturer. Better use Intel FITC. Follow win-raid tutorial (or some Youtube video…)

              You can also try
              Code:
              fptw64 -greset
              Using Intel FPT.

              Also it could be that you used an incompatible version. Report MEAnalyzer for both the original dump and the cleaned dump.

                      9.0.30.1482_1.5MB_PRD_RGN.bin is available so use that one instead.

                          yeah, that did the trick...thx. But... when i installed it...everything was ok except when try to install graphic driver....error no compatible hardware detected...first i tried to reinstall chipset driver...but still same errorr...then i flashed bios...and finally gpu detected and driver installed...For now everything seems to be in working order...

                          Oh, one more thing, probably you are right and in the future i should use intel FITC for cleaning ME, but can you send me some youtube link on how to?

                          Thank you!

                              by macabook
                              Hello everyone,

                              I’m currently working on a dead MSI GP75 Leopard (MS-17E71) motherboard (i7 CPU, NVIDIA GPU) with a no display/no backlight issue initially. After extensive investigation, I’m at a critical stage involving EC firmware, BIOS/ME region interaction, and possible deep corruption. I'm seeking advanced insight from anyone with experience in EC/BIOS sync issues or PCH-level behavior. Here’s a full breakdown:
                              🧩 Initial Issue
                              • Board powers on (fans spin, keyboard lights up and can be adjusted, caps lock led lights), but no display or backlight
                              • External display (HDMI) shows
                              ...

                              Hello everybody!

                              To put you in context I recently replaced the battery from my HP Pavilion 15 bc400ns with a used one, everything was going good. The same day, I decided to update the BIOS, everything went good. The thing occurred after I let the battery drain iddling on Windows 11 for the second time to calibrate it that the screen did not turn on again, the computer was on but the screen did not turn, like it would not wake from hibernation. I decided to restart the computer but got no video.

                              The thing is that I had installed TeamViewer and could log into the computer...

                              [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                              by zenius
                              Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                              Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                              by Bloodhoundje
                              Hi everyone,

                              I have been doing hardware repair as a hobby for some years now and recently decided to learn about repairing laptops as a fun challenge.

                              I managed to get my hands on a "HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec2523nd" notebook that only shows a white power LED and doesnt respond to anything.

                              After initial testing I concluded the bios seems to be corrupted since all voltages are normal and there are no shorts. HP has a feature for a bios restore from USB with winkey+B for this model. This did not work.

                              I have desoldered the bios chip (GigaDevice...
