[SOLVED] ASUS K46CB Intel ME cold boot problem

Hello world,

I have some problem when i turn laptop on, but it will not show any display. In the meantime, it shows out the display, Windows starts running perfectly. But, when i shut it down and starts again, it creates the same problem of not showing the display.

The main symptoms, I see device manager Intel MEI has exclamation sign with error code 10
STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE

I also checked event viewer and I have this one error showing multiple times, “Intel(R) Management Engine Interface driver has failed to perform handshake with the Firmware (FWSTS0: 0x00004181, FWSTS1: 0x16462100).” I have tried many times to update/reinstall drivers.

HWINFO results :



looks like there’s no ME on motherboard and bios settings no option for ME
Screenshot MEManuf and MEInfo



I also attach the SPI.bin
system model im using is ASUS K46CB Ultrabook
How can i fix this?
your help is greatly appreciated
thanks in advance

I told you in PM how to fix, this can only be fixed if you do pinmod to unlock FD (I sent you linked info) or if you have a flash programmer.
Maybe though, your FD is unlocked! I see in SPI unlocked FD, but unsure, requested FD dump only in PM

* Edit @agungg - Here, since it seems like you do have unlocked FD from that SPI dump (if it’s actual SPI dump) flash via >> FPTw.exe -me -f me.bin
