As title says, i bought IT from eBay from a respectable seller (+20.000 positive sales this year alone). However once i attempted to install a Hard Drive Intel Anti-Theft activated! And it's EOL, to top it all. I'm not from the US so shipping back is not an option

By using the Service Mode jumper i am able to boot into Windows 10, without it, i'm completely locked. However by being able to boot into Windows 10 i should be able to flash this BIOS. The problem is. INTEL MEI is still active even in Service Mode so my PC shutdowns automatically after some set amount of time

Can something be done? :(

@Avi448 Clean ME according to [Guide] Clean Dumped Intel Engine (CS)ME/(CS)TXE Regions with Data Initialization

Section D3, read especially notes about steps needed for disabling "Intel (R) Anti-Theft Technology"

(You didn't write specs, but a quick search found Q67/ SNB- answer based on this)

Hello, i followed all steps on the guide and it worked! Many thanks @lfb6 for providing me with the guide. And many thanks to @plutomaniac for writing such a detailed guide!

@Avi448 Thanks for the feedback, good to hear that it worked
