[Request] ME Cleanup for LG Gram 16T90R (i7 13th Gen)

Special Topics Intel Management Engine

Hello everyone,

I’m currently trying to repair a dead LG Gram 16T90R (13th Gen i7). The laptop turns on for exactly 4 seconds, lights up the keyboard, and then completely shuts off (no display). I suspect a corrupted ME region/BIOS and I am trying to perform an ME cleanup.

System Details:

  • Model: LG Gram 16T90R

  • CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i7 (Raptor Lake)

  • SPI Chip: Winbond W25Q128JV (16MB)

ME Analyzer Output (from my original dump):

  • Version: 16.1.25.2049

  • SKU: Consumer LP

  • Chipset: ADP-LP A

The Problem: When I try to rebuild the image using CSME System Tools v16.1 r0 (MFIT), I constantly get an error regarding the MEU version, even on a completely clean VM.

I have made sure not to mix any v17 tools in the directory, yet MFIT seems to forcefully use MEU 17.0, resulting in a corrupted build.

Could someone please assist me with a clean ME injection for this dump? I have attached my original 16MB dump below.

Thank you in advance for your time and expertise!
