              I've overwrote the section between $SVS markers with FF.
              Should work fine now.

                I have a MacBook Air a1466 emc 3178 stuck on the Apple logo (no progress bar). I've tried resetting NVRAM, SMC, and entering recovery mode with no success. I've also attempted BIOS flashing (changed SSN) following this guide: , or keeping the ME region intact and copying a new BIOS region and replacing SSN as instructed. However, after flashing the BIOS, when I power on the device, I only hear the startup sound, the screen backlight turns on, but there's no logo appearing. The funny thing is when i unplugged charger, there's an icon of a plug socket and a battery indicating low battery. Please help.

                              First of all, thank mr Peste for your kindly helps!.
                              IT take me alot of timeto read and lean.....I managed to clean ME using version 9.5.3.1526 instead of the original ME version. After flashing, I reset the NVRAM, and it booted from the operating system. However, there is an issue where it doesn't recognize the wifi card and machine shuts down after running for 1 or 2 hours. When I turn it back on, it still doesn't recognize the SSD (question mark and folder). I tried to boot from a installation usb (macOS High Sierra )drive also doesn't detect the internal drive. Even running "diskutil list" command from Terminal doesn't show the SSD. I tried swapping the wifi and SSD from a working machine, but it made no changes , still not recognizing wifi and SSD. When I swapped them back to the other machine, everything worked fine. I suspect it might be a hardware issue or the original ME firmware version 10.0.35.1012 is stuck. To rule out, I cleaned ME with version 10.0.35.1012 from this forum, even fix the BIOS but nothing happend. Please give me some advises. Atually, this is my first time dealing with a MacBook.
                              Thank you in advanced!

                                  post the motherboard model, do you want to delete the password, or clear the ME region?

                                          Could someone help me?
                                          I have a Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 - 2017, board 820-00165 and sometimes the boot interrupts with an image of a folder and a question mark.
                                          Could it be the BIOS?

                                          Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 - 2017 Boot
                                          by Sergio Kub
                                          Could someone help me?
                                          I have a Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 - 2017, board 820-00165 and sometimes the boot interrupts with an image of a folder and a question mark.
                                          Could it be the BIOS?

                                          Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 missing power and liquid damaged
                                          by BMCappelletti
                                          Hi everyone.
                                          Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 (board 820-00165 A) not turning on and no charging light. Completely dead. With no battery connected it would power up and I could hear the chime, but nothing on the screen and then a sudden turn off. Sometimes during the chime. Opened it up and found some liquid damage. The flat that connects both boards has damage in one side (with a missing pin already). The connectors on the boards are fine, though.
                                          Also, there was liquid damage on the included picture area, which are R8111 and C8111. A quick and soft brush on it made the resistor be gone....

                                          Macbook Pro Core I7 A2251 EMC3348 Help Remove MDM
                                          by MICHAEL_2013
                                          Good afternoon. My client brought me a Mac A2251 EMC 3348 that he bought at a sale. The computer is completely iCloud-free, but it came with MDM installed. He has tried contacting the company that provides the MDM in every way possible, but they are unwilling to offer a solution. The device is:
                                          Model A2251 EMC 3348. Serial Number: C02G54CZML85
                                          Apple MacBook Pro Core i7 2.3, 13" 2020, 512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM.
                                          I've tried changing the serial number of the SoC ROM MX25U3235F, but it hasn't worked:
                                          C02G54CZML84 only works up to Monterey.
                                          C02G54CZML86 doesn't work (I...
