Hi there, I'm hoping for some help. I did a bios update a while back, and have had problems since - laptop taking 30-60 seconds to post during boot, unable to correctly go in and out of sleep mode, causing battery issues. I tried to redo the BIOS update but it fails each time. I googled around, and there's lots of similar symptoms on the same model as mine, where people say the ME Region is corrupted. When I boot to my BIOS, alongside ME is blank. I've tried to follow a few guides but am struggling and hoping someone can help me.

I have a CH341A
I downloaded and ran Universal...
