@Johndill - sorry for the delay, took a minute to get all that set to be default for Express Charge! Now, even if/when BIOS resets it will default to Standard Charge
Program in, then remove all power from board. Unplug PSU 24/8 pin cables etc, short CMOS Pins for 10 seconds, press and hold case power on switch or short the pins for 10-15 seconds.
Then let system set without any power for 1+ full minute, then connect all power and away you go, enter BIOS, load optimal defaults, save and reboot back to BIOS to make any other changes you need (ie if RAID, set this before you boot to windows!)
This drain power and let sit for 1+ minute resets the ME FW State

If ME FW still messed up, it's OK, let know and I will use other known OK dump and redo the ME FW.
If it is messed up it's because of something was wrong in the dump you sent, that carried over when I did the clean/Update.
I have to run for now, will be back this afternoon (about 10 hours from now)

You are an amazing BIOS wizzard!! The IME is now showing in device manager again and is detected in HWinfo! It is also posting quickly again. Thank you so much for your great work! :-D And standard charge is working as default! :-D

I can send you a donation for your amazing work once I get it sold! :-D

@Johndill - Thank you! Awesome to see all is working great now! And, good to hear the Standard charge sticks too

Anything you send my way would be most appreciated, thanks!

Hello. I have both a alienware 17 r4 and alienware 15 r3 that bios broke the Intel me. Now it does not shut down and uses does not work other than the thunderbolt 3 on the back. Anyone have any help for me to fix these laptops. Would appreciate any advice.
