Hi,

I did the same process (replacing the ME region with clean one) as I did in my case. However, I could not find the exact same version of the ME that you have in your BIOS image. So I used the same version that worked for mine.
Your version: 11.8.94.4494
I used: 11.8.95.4551

So don't be mad if the laptop self-destructs after booting with my rebuilt image
The ME Analyzer error is fixed with my rebuilt image. My error was exactly the same......

Thanks! I actually learned to rebuild the BIOS image by myself in the meantime. There was a problem with ME region. Bad checksum and structure was even detected by MEAnalyzer.
The notebook works fine with my rebuilt image. Thanks anyway!

On first start it actually behaved the same (caps lock flashes, fast fan) but after that the fan stopped and the system started to boot. So if anyone is facing the same issue and trying the repaired bios, be patient on first start after flashing new image....

Hello,

I am a programmer who also likes to "play" with electronics.
My hobbies are reverse engineering and repairing stuff.

Also I like to stay in shape (important in our line of work). I cycle, run and train karate.

Hello,

I also have a HP 840 G5 which powers on, Caps Lock blinks 5 times, then fan goes into fast mode
Everything looks OK, all voltages are there except VCore (the regulator responsible for VCore doesn't get configured via SVID).
