Welcome to the Win-Raid Forum!
Unfortunately I cannot help you, because I have never used a Lenovo PC.
My tip: Ask the Lenovo Support.

If such person would exist, do you really believe, that he/she will read this question within this Forum?
Good luck!

and cleaning ME by any way

Hi! Could I ask some details about the process with Lenovo, as they have custom bios. Have you used programmer? I have Lenovo ideacentre Y710 Cube with h170 board and I would like to upgrade cpu, so I can have this system for couple more years.

You’ll probably need an SPI IC programmer or using mb jumpers for (ME_Dis) and the use of the Intel FPT tool.


Until you get some more tips from the thread initial user, you should try to understand details from the previous linked thread on other motherboards models.

Hi , sorry for delay , yes i just follow the guide indicated in link Use the E3 V5 series CPU method on the H110 B150 Z170 motherboard , for more information and help i can do it in my possible.
i have done it with programmer ch341 ,mod the bios in another pc or on flash disk after pulled and save the original one , you need intel cmse tools v 11 any release , and downgrade ME to 11.0.x you need csme repositories and finaly you need coffeetime v 0.99 , ( you can use it without any other software ) See post #88

hi , I suggest to send me a bios file pulled from the motherboard , and I’ll see what I can do for you
