Hi, I don't know how to reset Embedded Controller as I have not done this yet. But, I don't get why are you wanted to reset the Embedded Controller? As if you had flushed the BIOS and if you have solve your problem then I don't think that you need to worry about the other things. If you are getting any problem then you can try for other solutions.
