gabry120 · 11-12-2019, 04:29 AM

Hello! I have HP 840 G1, i changed motherboard and i could fill serial number, SKU ecc...I locked MPM and everythings ok, but i have always "Warning: Machine is not in committed state" error on bootup, how can I clean it? I've tried Brand11,12,13,14 but doen't work.
Thank You very much.

You need to to clean the me region.post your dump here.

**mcplslg123** · 11-13-2019, 12:27 AM

It has got nothing to do with me region. You still have some missing dmi info.

But after i used NbDmiFit i don't have Product Information Not Valid" error message and dmi info are correct.

Same problem with 820 G2.

Main bios was deleted so I took clean BIOS region (from HP website) and clean ME, stitched them together and programmed main bios. First it had no DMI data and then it retrieved it from EC bios. All data was present and correct.

Only "Warning: Machine is not in committed state" remained.

Here you are

I have one 840 G1 which had "ME state in recovery mode".

Replaced ME region with clean ME. Now it says "Warning: Machine is not in committed state" instead.

And how can i do full dump?

**mcplslg123** · 11-14-2019, 08:08 AM

By reading your eeprom chip with a bios programmer. you need to desolder the bios chip.

**RethoricalCheese** · 11-14-2019, 08:36 AM

No, you don't need to desolder it.

Unplug battery.
Plug in charger.
Turn the laptop on (and go to bios or whatever, doesn't matter).
Turn the laptop off but DO NOT remove charger.
Connect soic8 clip to eeprom and read bios.

This way it almost always reads without a problem. Otherwise the programmer might not even recognize eeprom.

Thanks for this information.

I dont prefer this method as there are models where soic8 clip doesnt read bios properly when taken in circuit-Why leave room for confusion when it hardly takes 5 mins to do the job.

Verification takes care of that problem, dont you use it?

Elitebooks handle hot air station without a problem but probooks dont. It isnt 5 minutes anymore if disassembly is needed.

Verification i always do and my programmer is set that way only. All mobo's can handle heat if you do things nicely. If probook mobo's cant bear a hot air station , then how do we change IC's on those.

See, the point is everyone one of us do repairs in their own way. Something which i dont prefer is not the norm. One can always disagree.

**RethoricalCheese** · 11-16-2019, 01:07 PM

Not the mobos, I meant the plastic housing doesnt take heat well on probooks. It starts melting instantly. Thus I would need to disassemble the laptop before using hot air on mobos which takes way more than 5 minutes.

Using my method to read eeprom on-board works pretty much always and if it doesn't, it will let you know.

If you want to waste time, it is on you. Whatever you prefer. But saying that it reads incorrectly is just not right. Yes if you just connect the soic8 clip and try to read, it mostly doesn't work but when you turn the laptop on and off and then try reading, it works very well almost always. If it doesn't work, the programmer will let you know about it.

**mcplslg123** · 11-18-2019, 01:21 AM

Sir, i never said it reads incorrectly. Re-read my post again. i said on some motherboards it doesnt reads properly. Does that mean -"it reads incorrectly" always. Why'nt read the statement in whole "there are models where soic8 clip doesnt read bios properly" Any way lets not argue unnecessarily.
