I had an X99 motherboard with the same ME version N/A issue. MEInfoWin64.exe -fwsts reported "Chipset ID mismatch". Easily solved by cleaning the ME [URL="https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/guide-clean-dumped-intel-engine-cs-me-cs-txe-regions-with-data-initialization/31277"]as per the instructions on the winraid forum.[/URL]
This usually has to be done after you replace the PCH, but in my case it was because the BIOS chip had been swapped out with a different board. Possibly related: my X99 PCH was on the verge of failing as well.I had an X99 motherboard with the same

Guide-How To: Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization Last Updated: 2020-07-22 This guide is relevant to those who need to clean the DATA section of an Engine (CSME, ME, CSTXE, TXE) Region, which is part of a dumped SPI/BIOS image, in order to flash the latter on a different machine of the same OEM model. It is not meant as a guide on how to completely transform a dumped Engine region into a stock Intel-provided one. Although the guide can be used for that some...

I'd wager the hot chip is shorted like you said, but make sure the downstream things it powers aren't what actually shorted, and double check the pin descriptions in its datasheet. The 4.7 ohm resistor probably turned into a pseudo-fuse too like FriedFred said.
P.S.: If you're doing a lot of motherboard repairs, I'd get a cheap thermal imaging camera. It'll pay for itself in time and burnt fingers saved! I've seen parts hit >250C with shorts exactly like you've got here.

This guide worked great for me replacing a B560 chipset on the ASUS B560M-A AC. All the PCIe and M.2 slots as well as the LAN were disabled without the ME enabled. Afterwords everything worked fine. However, when I ran step #8, the "ftpw64 -closemnf" command, it said that the bit was already set.
A big Thank you! to DynaxSC for all your time figuring this out and posting a guide!

Previously it was larger than the allowed size here, but it looks like I can upload it now. I can't remember which direction this is. Unless someone has the datasheet for this socket or can snag a boardview from one of the paysites, this is the best I could find....

Check +1.05ME voltage, and probably replace the attached RT8065 if it is wrong. To test if failed RT8065, inject 1.05V at +1.05ME before replacing it.

I have the exact same problem on an ASUS X99-A and X99 Deluxe. They display no Q-codes, but the board is obviously going through the POST sequence to an extent since, as you mentioned, it beeps the proper codes for no RAM. I had a similar problem on another board that was due to a broken off resistor that supplied a clock signal to the super IO, so I suspect the same issue is at play here, but I don't have an oscilloscope to check signals. My UT61E multimeter has a Hz function, but I don't trust it. The SIO and clock gen chip should be checked.
PS: There is unique data stored in the...

I am also looking for the ASUS Prime Q270M-C boardview if someone could share. I'm missing the VCCGT. The NCP81166 is getting 2.0V on the PWM pin from the ASP1401B controller, which puts it into diode mode. The ASUS H110M-K has nearly identical power stages, so that can be used to some extent.

Looking at the boardviews with some of these programmable controllers you can see the clock and data lines for programming aren't connected to anything but a 3 pin header, so I doubt the bios can actually interact with it. It is like this on my asrock X399 phantom gaming 6 where I damaged the ISL69144, and several other boards I checked.
However if it DOES connect to something like the chipset or super IO then it may be possible....

Yes, that worked perfectly. Thank you very much! It went from failing to pass the RAM debug light to properly booting into windows.
I took one resistor off a totally dead 12900f and one off a destroyed motherboard. I imagine the blue color means something specific, like 0.01% tolerance, or a special temperature range, so I have yet to see if the black 1% tolerance resistor makes any difference.

I am also missing a few capacitors on mine if anybody has it. Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2

It is the Dupont 2.0mm 2x5P connectors, NOT the 0.1" (2.54mm)! The 2.54mm pitch is too big! Use a ruler to measure the distance between pins to make sure. I made my own cable with an SN-2549S Crimp tool (about $10USD on aliexpress) the 2.0mm 2x5P Dupont housing and terminals, and some ribbon cable.

Unfortunately the IR35201 needs to be programmed with [B]IR POWERCENTER GUI[/B], or you must take it from another board with the same power configuration.

Intel i7-11700K or similar knocked resistors off, could someone measure theirs?
I have an i7-11700K that I knocked the top two blue resistors off of. If someone could measure their 11th gen and tell me what their values are it would be a great help. The bottom one of the three is 99.93 ohms on mine.

Usually that means you accidentally knocked off a part close to the edge of the board with the metal GPU bracket. Carefully inspect that area, or post a good photo of it. Once you find it, you can trace it back to a pin on the SIO either by eye or with a multimeter, then use the other boardviews to see what connects to that pin. It's probably the pin 45 you mentioned. The SIO usually controls the power button, so if it doesn't have power then you can't turn the board on. I don't have the boardview to offer, just my past experience, but I hope that helps.

You can just use the 73F option. The chip size and layout are the same so it makes no difference to the programmer. You can also manually add it to the chiplist.xml file if you want. Open the file in notepad++, search for MX25U12873F, duplicate the whole line, change 73 to 72 and the ID to what the auto search said your 72F chip is.

I don't have what you're looking for, but I will offer some suggestions: For ASUS z170-z390 there is a UUID and the board serial number that needs to be transferred to the stock ROM, as well as the MAC address if it has an Intel LAN chip. Those values were stored in a GUID that started with FD44... There is a program called FD44 editor that can transfer them. Although for Z590 I don't know if such a thing still exists, or if it would cause what you speak of.
Some motherboards have a ME maintenance jumper, perhaps you need to short such a jumper to program the ME? I would also carefully...

There seems to be a short on PUQ1301 and the board won't power on. Any help would be appreciated.

Asus X399-A or X399-E boardview request
I have an ASUS X399-A with a cracked corner. I don't think it affects anything but I would like to make sure. The X399-A and X399-E look like the same board, so any will do. If someone can share it, thank you very much!
