@gloobox - Is that maybe a bad dump? ME Region is defined, but all zeros and shows as "unidentifiable" in MEA This is Insyde BIOS, so AMI Tools not going to work. Microcodes are stored in second main padding in BIOS region, when viewing BIOS with UEFITool
Be careful when editing/adding, DMI Data is also stored in this padding file (starting @14000h) so watch you don't overwrite if microcode sizes increase, should be plenty of room there for any changes though, so not to much to worry about.

If you need me to update them let me know

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM
I view the forum like this, please bump your thread 1x every 24-48 hours if no reply

@gloobox - all Insyde BIOS different, sometimes use EZH20 but only very rarely, usually UEFITool and hex editor. For this one, and to mod ucodes, UEFITool and hex editor only.
It's probably possible via straight hex edit, since in this BIOS the uCodes are in a non compressed padding file, but not ideal to do that so I didn't check
Here all microcode updated - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?fil...367333174909757

@Lost_N_BIOS
Thanks,the machine's sb is hm65 which supports 2820qm in other model,but it didn't.I think the reason is mainly the old bios's CPU mc.
I will give you feedback and thanks again!!!
