Apple 820-00923 (820-00923-A) CLEAR ME

BIOS .rar 4.32 MB Shared

Firmware image for an Apple logic board 820-00923, revision A, with the Management Engine region cleared. A cleaned ME region lets the dump be written to a different board without carrying over the donor machine's ME state. Technicians use such images to recover boards with corrupted or locked EFI flash by reprogramming the SPI chip directly. The 820-xxxxx code is Apple's own board numbering, so match it to the number on the PCB, and read and keep a backup of the existing chip before writing this one.</p>
