It seems like my motherboard is not original, original ME firmware is 5M,is it possible flash ME form 1,5M to 5M?

No it's not. The replacement mobo is probably for some other SKU without vPro or similar.

Many thanks for your help !
I do not quite understand, My original motherboard ME is 5M, why the motherboard replaced ME is 1.5M, can I ask the repairer replace and flash the CHIP with dedicated external programmer?

As I said, it may be that the replacement mobo is from another Lenovo model which is fairly similar but comes with a mobo without vPro functionality or similar. What chipset/PCH model does your replacement motherboard have?
