BIOS serial number blank

I've read several related posts, but all are old and have not seen a solution....so I am adding a new post in hope of help.
I replaced the motherboard on a HP dv7-1240us laptop, with a new motherboard. The new motherboard does not have a Serial Number or Product ID in the BIOS. Is there any way to enter the Serial Number and Product ID from the bottom sticker on my laptop into the BIOS? I've read reference to a HPSETCFG.exe utility, but so far have been unable to find one for my laptop model. Any help appreciated.

Is this system broad replace by HP or it was done by you?
The utility to Enter that info is available with any authorised service provide.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

'bios serial number' setting no longer working with 11.2.4.1

We recently installed 11.2.4 and monthly update 1 (in 1 evening) and now we've started to notice that our workstations are not getting the proper device name.
We have preboot set to give the workstation the bios serial number as device name (certain A brand ships computers with empty asset tags but has the serial set to the asset tag).
This used to work with 11.2.3 so I am guessing something has changed. There currently does not seem to be a newer imaging set than the one with MU1.
They are getting a windows-XXXXXXX where X is a seemingly random char hostname.
Anyone know what might be up with this or has seen it ?

Hi Joshua
I tried a stripped down version with a 3 frame swf simply dropped onto the timeline - the problem does not occur. That means I would have to upload the full movie as it draws multiple slides from an external library and drops them onto the timeline at runtime. This package was developed to replace normal training material and is used widely to train some 120 000 candidates per annum by several companies. As such I cannot therefore post the full movie as I have to protect the code that drives the whole thing.I will have to stick with McGyver fix for the meantime.
As each slide is pulled from a library, and the slide backgrounds from a separate swf library, I think that something new in 11.5 either has a problem with running multiple things at the same time, or has a problem in running a sequence of instructions.

BIOS Serial Number Issue.

I am using Lenovo g50-70. When I type "wmic bios get serialnumber" on the command prompt.It is showing numeric values instead of alpha numeric. I already installed BIOS software, still showing numeric values. Please give me answers to my questions. 1) Is BIOS and Product serial number both are same? 2) Is BIOS serial number is numeric or alpha numeric? 3) Is there any possibility to put/change BIOS serial number as Product Serial number? If yes How can I? Please answer my questions and give me suggessions ASAP.Its very urgent to update BIOS Serial Number

Hi Marije,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with touchpad in your Lenovo G50 laptop.
Serial number will be alpha numeric, as you have mentioned it shows only numeric you can make a BIOS default, restart the system and keeps tapping f9 key and select make BIOS default option.
Can you share the snap shot of the BIOS through private message so that we can validate the issue.

Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists.

Just do trhe same thing you did here. Assign the value of the object.
Go back to you schoolbook and reread how to use variables. Once you learn and understand what variables are the answer to your question will be obvious.

Find Machine Bios Serial Number

Hi,
Need to find out the machine bios serial number in SCCM Hardware inventory.
Check in the SQL database SQL database views V_GS_PC_Bios, the value for serial number showing NULL.
Do we have to enable or create the custom class to get the bios serial number?
Regards,
Milind Dhuri.

You may find that some make/models of hardware may store the serial number in slightly varying classes in WMI.
In some, it might be in Win32_BIOS. In others, Win32_ComputerSystem, or Win32_ComputerSystemProduct, Win32_BaseBoard, etc.
Yes, it *might* be necessary to enable some additional classes in HINV, but I usually find that the data is already being inventoried, just that I am looking in the wrong place :)
Sometimes, there is no serial number stored in SMBIOS at all. (typically with smaller suppliers)
A quick and easy way to check if you have make/model variation as the cause of this dilemma, is to use Resource explorer in the ConfigMgr console.

Bios serial number difference with box serial number

I live in Viet Nam. I have just bought new MSI GE 2PC laptop on 03/07/2015. On 04/07/2015 I installed window and check bios serial number, I detected this number is difference with box serial number. I also detected my battery was wear 3%. ON 05/07/2015, I re-tested battery wear level, it is 5%.
What happen with my laptop, I don't know the reason why my battery was wear and bios serial number was difference with box serial number.

Bios serial number change

Can someone tell me the procedure for changing the system serial number in the bios when you replace a system board?

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.

Acrobat 9 - Remove Serial number for image?

Hi all,
We are purchasing Dell PCs with OEM installations of Adobe Acrobat Standard 9. I am attempting to create an image based on one of these machines, but I want to remove the Acrobat Serial number, so when I push this image onto another machine, I can enter the proper serial number for that machine.
I know you can go into the registry and change the serial number, so I tried to just delete the value from there. However, when I did this and start up Acrobat, it runs through the installation and the previous serial number is back in it's place. I found the serial number listed in a "Repair" key as well and when I delete it from there, I have the same result, with the exception of the registry values for the serial number remain blank. Surprisingly, Acrobat works fine even though it appears (at least in the registry) that there is no serial number associated with it.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks!

Can anyone help here?
I've downloaded the Adobe Customization Wizard and set the user name, company name, etc. and left the serial number blank. When I attempt to run an unattended installation, it fails with a dialog box that simply says "error."
I changed to an interactive install to see if I could get any more information on when and where it was failing. User and company name are filled in, as expected, but Serial Number is blank and I cannot advance without entering a Serial Number. I assume this is also why the unattended installation is failing.
How can I install without a serial number, so that I will be prompted for that upon first launch?

Serial number in the database

Hi,
We are running Dell Optiplex GX 270 & 280 workstations and have all
ZfD401 features running in our networks
In the inventroy scan configuration, it scans the serial number as well
as the asset tag number from BIOS.
I can see these infomation in the workstation object - zenworks
inventory - min info.
However, if I exporting the inventory database to a CSV file and open it
in Excel. The serial number column is empty. None of the 1200
workstation records have the serial number exported.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Louie

Thanks Heaps.

Ticket Key Store - Serial Number is : 0

Hi,
In our Production Portal Server ( Cluster HA Environment ), we have the TicketKeystore certificate with the Serial Number as 0.
WE tried to re create the same for getting serial number assinged, but its not working.
When we download this certificate in to R/3 it is successful.
But during the Connector test in System Landscape for SSO we are getting the error.
Is this error is due to the serial number blank or ?
in our development server we have the serial number.
Any Help.
Thanks & Regards
Sumanth

To reset the serial number, you must delete the TicketKeystore view then restart the J2EE (that will regenerate the TicketKeystore view and SAPLogonTicketKeypair[-cert].
