    Sony MBX-268 ME Version unknown, please help

    Hi everyone

    Problem: Laptop turns off at 30 minutes. in bios setup shows "ME version Unknown".

    I have tried several bios files without sucess, same problem and I don't know how to fix the error. The laptop doesn't have discrete graphics.

    Could someone help me to resolv the problem? Or what thing can I do to resolv it? I don't have the original bios, I attach a working bios that shows the error.


    Your help is very appreciated.

          It has other model too: SVE141C11U

          The laptop has an Core i5-2450M processor, I received the mother with this processor.

          Where can I check its compatibility, please

            try this bios

            Try the ME drivers too if you have a yellow triangle mark in device manager,these are for win 8 - https://www.sony-latin.com/en/electr...loads/W0007988

              Thank you SMDFLEA but not luck, it turn off at 30 minutes.

              I don't have yellow warning, only I installed the Sony Parser Driver.

              I downloaded two bin files and cleaned ME Region with yoyour guide but in the bios screen still shows "ME Region Unknown".

                  I think something was changed in this laptop, processor, motherboard, assembly, I don't know

                    by sijones99
                    Hi Everyone, please can I share my situation and see if anyone has any ideas? I'm trying to help my brother out, but am at the outer limits of my knowledge. I'd like to do my best before this laptop gets thrown away - it's quite a good spec and I think it'd be a shame to trash it without trying. Also, I'd like to understand the problem for my own experience.

                    I've been searching online, but am not really any the wiser.

                    All in one Sony Vaio VPCL22Z1E 3D version no video on main display
                    by microso
                    Hi,
                    I bought an all in one Sony Vaio VPCL22Z1E 3D version which does not show anything on the display, instead it works ok on the hdmi output (video and sound).
                    I tested with a flashlight and it seems that it does not display the image without backlight.
                    It doesn't make any sound in the built-in speakers and the headphone output has a very weak level.
                    As an observation, I use a 19.5V power supply with 120W and in the specifications the original one would have 180W.
                    Could this be the reason why it doesn't work properly?
                    Mainboard is V021_MP_3D_1.1 1P-0115J00-8011...

                    I believe Chip 2 is BIN is the main one as it contained the Windows product key, marked with XXXXX for now.

                    PROBLEM: Turns on blank screen, charging circuitry motherboard looks good. I have tried another firmware here - but resulted in 5V will not go to 20v due to different PD firmware I believe - using the current firmware it does go to 20V.

                    Requesting a firmware clean/BIOS region cleaned. Here is output from ME Analyzer:
