What is Intel Management Engine or ME Region?
It is a microcontroller integrated into Intel brand chipsets or PCHs found on computer motherboards. It runs a lightweight and very basic operating system, which has a variety of features and services for systems based on Intel processors. In this article we are going to see how to clean the ME Region.Intel Management Engine it loads its code from the motherboard's EEPROM(FLASH) memory before it loads the operating system. That is, it is the first thing that starts to run, when we turn on the computer.
What problems do we have with the ME Region within the BIOS?
As mentioned above, the ME (Management Engine) region is included in the information that the bios chip or EEPROM has (on laptops it sometimes comes separately on another chip).What happens with this, on many occasions we have laptops with corrupt bios problems, and we download a bios (.bin) from a website to reprogram it. When we program it, the laptop gives us random problems. Example: it does not provide video, it loads slowly, the fan rotates at maximum, the touchpad does not work, etc., all these problems are due to the ME region.
How to clean the ME region?
In this video below, the entire process that must be carried out to clean the ME region is explained in detail. All programs used to carry out this process are shown: ME Analyzer, Me Injector and UEFI TOOL. All tools and all Clean ME Regions (RGN) can be downloaded from .With the ME Analyzer application we can see the version of the ME region, the total size of said region, and many important characteristics, for example: if the region is Production or Consumer, if it is extracted (Extracted) or not, the type of family ( CSM ME, TXE, PCHC, CMP), SKU and many other data.
With the UEFI TOOL we are going to see several characteristics, such as: where the ME region begins and ends, the types of chips that can be used, etc..
The Me Injector program is responsible for including the clean ME region (RGN) within the bios binary file, for later program the bios with the programmer.
