Hi, I need a liitle help with bios dump for Fujitsu S781 I5 VPro. After replacement of QM67, I have usual symptoms with fan at full speed. After bios splash screen there is error "ME is in recovery state". Windows loads and performs normally but notebook turns off after 10 minutes (no difference - idle of with load).
I am not sure - should I replace ME region with "clear" one. Only "clear" ME for QM67 that I have is "ME Region_1248.bin" which is 1.429.504b and ME extracted with FITC is 4.456.448b.
Here is the original dump
original S781 dump

There is a setup password (for entering bios) which is unknown, but windows loads normaly - not a power on password

Thank you in advance

You can answer me in Russian - I can understand it, but my writing skills of Russian language are rusty (I have learned it long time ago in elementary school)

Best regards from Serbia

Hello. Lay out bios here on the forum, not a file server where no setup program does not download.
I will change the ME region under your laptop.

Привет. Выложи биос тут на форуме, а не файл сервере где без установки програмы не скачать.
Я изменю МЕ регион под ваш ноутбук.

Original bios - Thank you

LifeBook E781 vPro, S781 vPro

Thank you тангасити,
Still no changes (except no setup password) - still "ME is in recovery state", and fan on max speed..
Any ideas?

... and exactly 10 min after power on - it shuts down - same as before. Is there some kind of timer when "ME is in recovery state"? I have already checked -all temps are normal including QM67

Try this...


May be, yes.

Посмотри этот. Собрал на твоем биосе с чистым регионом.
Look at this. I collected on your Bios with pure ME region.

@тангасити
With "s781 25q64 test.rar" laptop turns on, passing bios logo, then displays error:
"failed to get me kernel host interface version"
and after that
"(A7) Me FW Downgrade - Request MeSpiLock Failed"
and it stays laike that with no response (only ctrl alt del or power button)
This version is with locked setup password - I assume it was from my original bios

I have decompress it with System tools and changed bios region with bios region from "x781_25q64_ClearME" - your first file - with it I can enter bios, but I get same errors.
After that I have tried "x781_25q64_ClearME" version combined with ME region from ""ME Region_1248.bin" - (it was posted on this site with other clear ME versions) - It boots, and after bios logo it displays: "Error sending End of Post messages to ME"

@elf22
No boot, no power on with your file - only power led blinking every 5 seconds once. Also System tools can not decompress or load your file?

Any more ideas or ME regions to combine?

Thank you for your effort

Тут картинки как изменит регион.
Совет: Сделай фото старых настроек региона перед изменением, проще будет выставить старые настройки в новом регионе.
Pictures here how to change the region.
Tip: Make a photo of the old settings before changing region, it will be easier to put the old settings in the new region.

What about the dump?

(with your pwd)...

2 errors:
"failed to get me kernel host interface version"
and
"Error sending End of Post messages to ME"

Same like version I was trying with "ME Region_1248.bin".

In your version you have new ME region - 8.0.4.1441. Latest from Fujitsu official site (and in original dump was 7.1.52.1176)

Should I try to program KBC eeprom also? There is version from E751 here on forum - maybe It will change something?

I have noticed that there are some differences in ME configuration - ICC Data / ICC Registers, between original version (Right) and this one (left). Should I change them to be the same like elf22 sugested? Screenshot attached



Thank you

You will try. It's may be help but may be not...

Yes!!!
I did'nt open your original backup (FITs reports about errors) - therefore I do'nt know your ME configuration.
If you know your original ME configuration - you need change new to old!

It's from official bin for Lifebook NH532...

Thank you - I will edit configuration in dump tomorrow and try again. I will post my results.

Still no luck - everything is configuration is set as is was but still no luck - "ME is in recovery state..." error. I will post a solution if I find one. If you have any ideas, feel free to write them.

Thank you for you effort - I have learned a lot - that is the most important (for some future repair)

Did you replaced it by new one?
What kind of reason had for the replacement?

It was sold as "new" in sealed plastic packaging with no previous traces of use - 35€. I have purchased previously from this supplier and I had no similar problems.
Reason for change - broken USB ports - shorted 5V with data lines - burned original QM
I did not give up - I will try to find (or modify) some other versions of dumps - I will post my results
Thank you
