Re: (NEED HELP)dell precision m4600 problem after bios flash (unbrick)
hi. just flased this yesterday. laptop was just a bit slower on previous file.
with this clear-ME file. performs better its faster.
but i want to ask you something.? on previous files BIOS version was on A04
but when i flashed this clear-ME file its at A19 .??? is this supposed to be on A19 or like other file A04.? because laptop version was on A19. makes me wonder if it didnt flashed correctly.
may i ask for file link needed to clear ME.? i want to learn how to do it....Leave a comment:

Re: (NEED HELP)dell precision m4600 problem after bios flash (unbrick)
ok but it will take me time to try. not sure if ill order a soc8 clip. instead of having someone desolder chip then solder to adapter then again desolder and solder back to motherboard..
can you please tell me what is the difference this file to th other.?
and can you please tell me why now intel ME extension option appear.??
i ask because i have never seen that option before.
