Re: mec 16xx dump with info block

Yes, that's the only place it is sold. As I said, it is still easier to buy the copy because the copy is sold in multiple sites. It doesn't come up as a google search response aswell, only the copies do.

I got mine a couple years ago and at that time, I didn't even know that the original and copy are 1:1. ioprogrammer seemed like a legit seller aswell but it turned out to be the copy after I bought it.

But if activating copy is truely possible then atleast it doesn't go to waste. Original author can still get something for it.

Re: mec 16xx dump with info block

Yes, I know that. You missed my point. My point was that it is too easy to buy the wrong programmer compared to buying the correct one.

Today I spoke with the author at your request ...
Anyone can activate a clone of the programmer through the author of the programmer Vertyanov and make the programmer licensed. It will work with the latest software version 8.2 which can work with the eeprom area. The activation cost is $ 50.

Activation successful on SAS rev 3.9. First victim was T490s using eeprom read/write and it worked nicely. No serial number rewriting needed now.

So did you manage to unlock it? Or did you just read and write? I have Svod3, read and write ok, laptop remains locked Lenovo thinkpad T14 gen 1

Re: mec 16xx dump with info block

As I said, I used vertyanov, not svod3 to unlock it. Still no idea how people use svod3 to unlock. But since I haven't seen anybody confirm it to work, maybe it just doesn't.

@dimkka
When you perform the READ-ERASE-PROGRAM procedure in the EC/KBC, try to disconnect all source of energy including CMOS battery, check if that makes a difference. We had a similar problem, which was solved by disconnecting all source of energy for 2-3 minutes.

Re: mec 16xx dump with info block

Tried it with both SAS and SVOD3. Did not help. It was not needed for vertyanov and rt809 tho.

Work for svp password. But for computrace cant be done. Computrace still remaining when entering bios setup. All id are gone, but computrace still actived. Any solution?

Hello, if you haven't solved the computrace already, try writing a fresh bios with ME area cleaned.. worked for me. I have both SVOD and RT809H but the latter worked for me concerning the MEC.

@salim1gr
That’s not a problem, you can extract the EC/KBC firmware from a ThinkPad T490 bios update executable, trim the file so it can be used, then use this new file to update the EC/KBC chip using the programmer you have.
