What you have gathered so far on the EC standby pins? The model number of the motherboard you are working on?
Complete dead board (no standby lights, no response to the power button).
or "Super I/O" chip in laptops and complex embedded systems. It is often responsible for low-level hardware management, such as power sequencing, keyboard control, and thermal monitoring. IC Components Core Overview Manufacturer: ITE Tech. Inc. Package Type: it8995e 128 datasheet
Unlike older, fixed-function Super I/O chips, the IT8995E-128 is fully . This means its behavior is determined entirely by the firmware flashed onto it.
Based on its category as an embedded controller, the IT8995E-128 typically handles the following operations: Power Management: What you have gathered so far on the EC standby pins
Consequently, rely on Linux kernel drivers and proprietary Windows tools to infer the chip’s behaviour. The Linux kernel does contain basic support for this chip (via the “ite” driver), but full functionality (e.g., fan speed monitoring) is often incomplete.

Ultimate Guide to the IT8995E-128: Datasheet, Pinout, and Repair Applications
Technicians use dedicated hardware programmers (such as the SVOD, RT809H, or Vertyanov JIG) connected directly to the laptop's keyboard matrix connector to flash the internal memory of the IT8995E-128 without desoldering the chip. Troubleshooting a Suspected IT8995E-128 Failure
