Hi,
I have a customer that came in with an iMac that is restarting in a loop.
The iMac was previously repaired by another shop and I can see the Bios has been reworked somehow.
The customer has reported that the loop happened after he tried to install an SSD in place of the HDD.
Since then the iMac would always restart. The previous apparently did not make it worth since it's doing the same thing.
I am getting the following messages in verbose before it restarts:
- Failed to wake the ME
- Begin GFX firmware load process
And these messages will repeat themselves.
Seeing "ME" in the logs + having the bios reworked, I am assuming the Bios was messed up and replaced with one from another board without the ME region being cleaned up.
I would like to rule that out first before assuming there could be a fault with the GPU (as can be seen with the following message)
Can you please clean the ME region for me on this bios: https://drive.google.com/file/d/123yLS9KLLxrOOqSwCRLEmKg-PDEW_D3k/view?usp=sharing
Thank you in advance.
