    to make it generic needs Intel ME Cleaned properly.
    first make backup.bin and verify it before erasing chip.
    what programmer will you use? if CH341A i recommend flashrom or ASprogrammer
    also does not always work with clip to board.. might need to desolder.

    I have an HP ELitebook 840 g2. Is there an SMC.bin file for this laptop that I can use? Or is there some other method that I can try to reset the bios?
