    I'm still out of commission after a bad EC firmware flash (laptop won't turn on), and I've learned that their is a special paramater passed to the EC chip when flashing.

    The batch file when run is this "ENEFLASH /FLASH -B4C 1722EG61.422"

    The -B4C parameter is to set "KBC Index I/O Base Address (Hex Format)" and -B004C sets the KBC Index I/O Base Address to 0x4C.

    I had my EC chip flashed to the original firmware, but this parameter was not passed and I'm wondering if someone can dump their EC firmware so that I can compare the file from the chip and the pre-flash file to see if anything is different.

    To dump, run in DOS mode and simply run the ENEFLASH.exe contained in the EC.zip update from MSI. Use this command:

    ENEFLASH /DUMP EC.BIN

    then post the EC.BIN file for comparison...

    Anyone willing to do this for a fellow MS-1722 ID1 owner?
