Change Motherboard Serial Number
Re: [Q]TF201 replaced motherboard serial number unknown. Have you ever had it unlocked? Do you have your reciept, from the repair invoice, if you do, contact asus with your invoice, ask them if they can get the information for you. Change the Serial Number on a Chromebook. As soon as you see Recovery Mode pop up—the screen with the yellow exclamation point—press Ctrl+D. This will bring up a prompt asking if you want to turn on Developer Mode. Press Enter to continue. Press Ctrl+D - give it some time. It'll pop up with a new screen for a few moments. How can I change the BIOS serial number in VirtualBox? If your system uses EFI-- controlled by 'Settings -> System -> Motherboard -> Enable EFI'. How can I change the hard disk serial number in VirtualBox? Serial number not found, copy of Windows not genuine.
We purchase some of our systems (desktops mainly) through a small third-party OEM. They don't include serial number, manufacturer info., etc. Chord tercipta untukku.
In the BIOS however and this makes it difficult for systems monitoring and inventorying software to distinguish one system from another - especially if we do a clean wipe on the system. MAC addresses are semi-reliable, but not truly unique.
I'd like to add some info. such as manufacturer and serial number / asset tag into the bios (there are fields for it), but I can't edit it through the normal BIOS menu. Any idea on how this can be accomplished? You can try using IPMI commands to write the relevant information into the VPD but good luck finding out exactly where you need to write. That's likely information specific to the particular motherboard model. I just needed to figure this out for my own purposes;) You should be able to use either: ipmitool fru edit/read/write.
Or flshupdt to update the FRU data. However, your statement: MAC addresses are semi-reliable, but not truly unique is incorrect - MAC addresses should be, by definition, unique.
That would be an appropriate value to key off for inventory purposes.
Not exactly true. Lenovo System Update also verifies your system with that serial number and if it is not changed you cannot use system update. I have another question. My thinkpad t61 has still warranty and was sent in because the main board crashed December 2009.
I got it back everything fine so far, but the repair service did not update the bios, so I cannot use the system update anymore. Lenovos support hotline tells me that I have to send it in again to fix the issue. I think it is not fair, that I have to pay (lost time because of sending it in for about 2 weeks), for obviously their mistake. Anybody an idea what I can do?
Regards Stephan Nielsen. I called (again) and talked to two different persons for about an hour (actually 3, but one hang up after 10 seconds or lost connection, whatever).
They tell me it cannot be escalated because it is not possible. They reject my customer satisfaction request. The problem seems to be that the thinkpad was sent in to the norwegian repair center because i was living for 5 month in norway. I realized the problem when i was back in germany, so i am trying to fix the issue with the german support hotline. But it seems the global company lenovo or ibm (who i think is still responsible for the support?) is not so global at all.

The first guy told me that i should call the norwegian support hotline and complain about the repair center there. The only option the german support center has to offer is that i can send it in again because the mistake is not caused by the german repair center. That is also why they cannot except the customer satisfaction escalation he told me. The second guy told me that it is not possible to escalate the case because there is no reason for it. I have no right to complain because i do not want to accept the warranty service they are offering me (sending it in). The only option he offered me is that they would come and fetch the laptop for the repair which might be a little bit faster than sending it. Although i told him that i will use the warranty service but only want to complain how the service was handled it was still not possible to record the complain.

He told me that i would get a questionnaire after the repair is handled (sth i did not get the last 2 times the laptop was in for repair). Now i know, why lenovo has such a high customer satisfaction rate. They just do not record complaints. (i know that's not true all the time but it fits my case.) well, after this i do not know if i should consider lenovo for my next laptop, although i am very satisfied with my thinkpad except all the repairs (harddrive, cooler, battery, mainboard, cooler again) i had in three years but i still hope that my one is just a real lemon.
But thanks for the advice although it was not successfull.
