It's pretty common for bios manufacturers to use a generic string package that's made to cover a large range of bios settings. This makes it so they don't have to spend time rewriting a new string package for every bios they release, and this results in a lot of unused strings. The same thing happened in my bios where I saw some strings related to overclocking, however no options exists in the IFR for them. There could still be variables in the nvram that correspond to the non-existing options, but we can't accuratley manipulate them since we don't know their offsets in the nvram or the values that relate to the different states of the option.

@Khenglish Thanks for checking it out. Read through FITC's documentation yestureday and didn't find anything that useful to change either.

@kasar Thanks. Turns out my computer uses W25X32BV ROM and the fparts you provided has support that chip. Starting up my computer with windows+left_key+right_key allowed me to bypass the descriptor. Managed to dump my entire bios The other ME tool versions both gave errors similar to: Intel chipset 5 series detected. Unsupported platform. @Khenglish I rely on my computer too much for school to be messing around with the motherboard. Can't afford to break it right now. Lol the tools I found were leaked my Acer. Here they are (I replaced fparts.txt in both windows and dos fptw with kasar's. The original didn't have anything new compared to his) ME 6.0.0.1184.rar Could one of you take a look at my ME region and see if there's anything worth changing? It doesn't even resemble the ones linked on the first post. ME Region.zip

Any chance of getting this to work on a series 5 HP laptop with an i7 740qm? The ME tools linked in the first post don't work on 5 series, but I managed to find an older version of them (6.0.0.1184) that work for this series. However when trying to use fptw I get an error about not having any supported SPI flash devices. I assume that the tools I found aren't up to date enough to recognize the type of ROM that my laptop utilizes. It'd be cool if someone could post a newer version of the ME firmware tools that supports series 5.
