820-4924-A MBPr 2015 running slow, possible ME Region?

[aqibi_]

MBPr 2015 13" Early 2015 820-4924-A

Running slow, with SMC bypass works fine:

It has a NVME SSD Crucial P2 (1TB), tried another NVME adapter too.

- No water indicators tripped
- Sensors using iStat /HW show sensible values, only airport showing 129 degree (which is common) since we don't have ASD for this year board.

I have removed and dumped the EFI/BIOS:
- does cleaning the ME Region make sense?


Side notes
1) I do not have the original nor compatible SSD to test with
2) battery is showing service battery (it's down to 3700mah) - do not have a compatible one to try
3) Tried with the Camera cable disconnected
4) Wondering if booting from USB3 externally with internal SSD removed can help understand if it is a SSD issue.
5) using genuine 65W MagSafe2
6) Trackpad cable replaced since the last one was ghosting

Thank you

Yes, i already saw that.
Also, I saw you've committed another rule violation, because you are not allowed to make a new topic if there is an existing one.
I've already moved your request.
Be careful, read the rules!

Try a serviceable battery first. Also run diagnostics with D at bootup to see if there are any errors reported.
