Lenovo M5400 CPU upgrade

[grpss]

Here is, OEM Id inside files which flashing just "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"

Try in in command line with administrative rights, not in Power Shell.
Or try in native DOS (e.g, by Rufus) with DOS-version of FWUpdLcl.exe

Or use additional key oemid
-oemid 00000007-0000-0050-0000-000000000000

Good day, mr. DeathBringer! Sorry for such long answer, I want to thank you for your help: so I flashed ME Intel driver with DOS version of programm with additional key oemid, and now I have my m5400 with i7-4700mq. Works very well without any errors or problems. Thank You for your help!!!

Thanks to everyone for the information above. Thanks to this info I chose a 4700mq and did not regret it - everything worked without update Intel ME (latest BIOS). Powerful! I like it.

I saw that the i7 4700mq runs perfecly..why don't use a 4810mq?

My friend has a Lenovo B5400 which has been updated with the latest Bios (v2.08), but I'm still wondering if it is possible to put the Intel i7-4702MQ processor directly into it? ME Firmware version is 9.0.13.1402, if that needs to be updated, where can I download the newer one?

Download ME 9.0 1.5MB v9.0.31.1487.rar

Ok, Thanks DeathBringer, I try upgrade from Windows, if that doesn't work out, how upgrade is done from DOS?

[DeathBringer]

1. Download ME 9.0 1.5MB v9.0.31.1487.rar, extract 9.0.31.1487_1.5MB_PRD_RGN.bin and rename it to me.bin
2. Go to Intel ME System Tools v9.1\FWUpdate\WIN64\ and copy me.bin there.
3a. Run in the command line with administrative rights and save results:
FWUpdLcl64 -f me.bin -oemid 00000007-0000-0050-0000-000000000000
3b. Boot in native DOS and run in the command line:
FWUpdLcl -f me.bin -oemid 00000007-0000-0050-0000-000000000000
4. Don't reboot but power off your system and disconnect power cord for few minutes.
5. Boot, enter in BIOS, do Load Defaults, save and exit.
6. Make new results of MEInfo
