Hi project team

I'm using this tool in the hope of resolving a 30min shutdown on 2x HP Z200 workstation motherboards purchased from eBay.

me-cleaner --check original.rom throws a WARNING

Unknown public key 645f093c24ec0302df950e6dd1a51789 Assuming Intel ME Please report this warning to the project's maintainer!

Please see photo of output in case of typo... me_cleaner

as a follow up, I'm using the guide here

me_cleaner --soft-disable original.rom --output modified.rom resulted in what appeared to be successful 'clean' but once applied did not disable the 30 minute timer. Are you able to assist?

Is this project no longer active?

corna commented 5 years ago

Still active, unfortunately I don't have much spare time anymore.

You can safely ignore that warning, it just means that the public key of Intel ME is not known by me_cleaner (see these).

Thanks for the reply. me-cleaner seemed to have wiped out the BIOS of ME related parts but the motherboard still turns off after 30 minutes. Is there anything else worth trying or shall I abandon this board to the skip?
