H67H2-EMv1.0 BIOS Dump

mkcarolus — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 12:06:39 GMT

Hello.
I've recently acquired a Medion PC - model PC MT 14, type MED MT717, art.-nr.
10015348. It's based on a H67H2-EMv1.0 (nr. 20049276) motherboard made by ECS.
It was having some stability problems, so - in an attempt to remedy the issue
- I decided to start by updating the BIOS to the latest version. Unfortunately,
I was in a hurry and didn't notice that I had downloaded the BIOS for a H67H2-M
made and sold by ECS (which ranks 1st in Google search results for [H67H2-EM]).
After the update the motherboard won't POST (black screen, no POST beeps).
I have a SPI flash programmer which I could use to write a proper BIOS image.
I am in need of a working BIOS dump for the H67H2-EMv1.0 - it can be any BIOS
version so long as it's compatible. It should weigh exactly 4MBytes.
I also ask for an official BIOS update to the latest version available for the
H67H2-EMv1.0.

Best regards,
Michał K.

Hi @mkcarolus,

unpleasant situation I´d say and the only option we can offer you except of sending the unit to the repair center, is to download the Version 0208 by clicking the link down below.
Size of the .rom file is about 2.6 MB, but maybe you can get things in the right shape with it:

BIOS ECS H67H2-EM

Are you sure the provided update is meant for the H67H2-EMv1.0? The filename
contains "h81h3em". I also vaguely recall that the BIOS version prior to
flashing was 0304, so version 0208 would probably be much older and possibly
incompatible with a newer Intel ME version.
I don't know if I'll be able to figure out the offset at which I need to write
a smaller BIOS image and if the rest of the data already on the BIOS chip will
be compatible (enough) for the motherboard to POST.
I appreciate the help and I'll try to use the file you provided (having a backup
of the mess I've made by mistakenly flashing the H67H2-M BIOS), but I'm still
hoping someone will eventually post a complete BIOS dump suitable for writing
using a SPI flash programmer.

Yeah @mkcarolus ,

you are right, I accidently chose the wrong file. Doublecheked it with tech dept and received version 0619, which can be downloaded here

This is the one and only Bios version he have for that board.

@mkcarolus @Major_ToM

It's funny, both rom-files extracted - M1_0208.ROM and M1_0619.ROM - are bit for bit identical.

Just for information.

Hi at all,

I know this is an old thread but I have found them while looking for a BIOS update for the Medion H67H2-EM v1.0 board. Now I've got the new BIOS but I can't install them.

From Win7-64bit it don't go - it says, it's not a 64bit version.

So I start a 32bit System of Win7 but it's only short open a console windows and that's all 😕

So anyone here who know how to install the BIOS file?

Many thanks in advance,

Josh

Hi Karl

I am also looking to update my H67H2-EMv1.0

BIOS.

Did you ever manage to update it successfully?

Have you already tried the steps mentioned previously on this thread?

Please let me know the MSN number of your machine, its Windows version and any details on the issue you are facing installing it.

My MSN is 10014858.

I was hoping that the original enquirer could reassure me of a successful upgrade!

My post is just a precaution, as I'm having problems upgrading my GPU and I thought it possible that the 8-year old BIOS was causing a problem in recognising newer GPUs capable of the 2560 x 1440 resolution required by my new 32" monitor.

The substantive discussion is here: https://community.medion.com/t5/Desktop-PC-All-In-One/Upgrading-GPU-on-MD7712-Akoya-P5704D/m-p/81218#M238

It now seems that the problem may be deeper, in that the BIOS structure may be incompatible with newer cards!

Hello john, if you could provide me a working link to the original BIOS I can update the microcode to make it work with newer GPUs. I already made dozens of BIOS modifications based on the original BIOS for various motherboards and I had a similar problem with a X79 board that wouldn't recognize modern GPUs but work with legacy ones.

The link to the BIOS for the H61 posted here isn't working for me, would you be able to upload it elsewhere? Then I could help.
