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.

  • '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.

  • Serial Number changes not allowed at Goods receipt level

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created serial number at the time production order creation. But at the time of goods receipt my user change the serial number manually and save the document. My requirement is system should not allow changing the serial number in goods receipt level. 
    Example:
    Prod. Order:  10001
    Qty: 1
    Serial No: 20100001.
    At the time of goods receipt user change the serial number as 20100003.
    Is it possible to restrict the serial number changes at goods receipt level?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    S.Babusingh

    Hi,
    Not in front of the system, but if i remember correctly one of these enhancements has a check on serial numbers,
    1. User exit -> MBCF0002
    2. BADi -> WORKORDER_GOODSMVT or MB_DOCUMENT_BADI
    Check & revert if it meets your need.
    Regards,
    Vivek

  • VBS: Get Bios Serial Number

    Hello my friend 
    i have just learned VBS therefore, i have a my homework: Get Bios Serial Number 
    Code:

    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set colBIOS = objWMIService.ExecQuery _

    For each objBIOS in colBIOS
    x=msgbox("Serial Number: " & objBIOS.SerialNumber)

    Hello my friend

    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.

  • Why has my macbook pro serial number changed after getting it repaired?

    I just noticed that the serial number in the 'about this mac' information has a different serial number to what is on the back of the macbook pro, which is the same serial number on my apple care/phone . I had a lot of issues with my macbook pro it was sent to repair in july 2013 then in august 2013. Why has the serial number changed? I tried using my original serial number to use the online apple care service however it did not recgonice my serial number when I tried the new serial number it regconised it but said I did not have apple care but I do. I don't know what the apple team have done to my macbook as it requires to go in for repair again.

    Was it repaired at Apple or an authorized service provider?
    You need to contact the repair place/store and/or call Apple and make them aware of the problem - sooner rather than later. Make sure you give them the repair/case number so they can find the paperwork for it.
    I had a logic board replaced and the tech also did not do anything - I called Apple and the tech came back to my house to take care of it. It's important because you want to make sure that your Applecare is being associated with the right serial number.

  • Serial Number Change

    Our users here want to change the serial number of an equipment which they mistyped.  I tried the option of Edit->Change Serial Number Functions->Change Serial Number in IE02.  The system displayed an error saying the User Status doesn't allow for Serial Number change.  Is there any config in the system where we can control for which User Statues we can allow for Serial Number Change.

    Hi,
    Presently your equipment must be having a user status active.
    Now got to SPRO>>>Plant Maintenance and Customer Service>>>Basic Settings>>>Define User Status. or tcode - OIBS
    Select Status Profile assigned to your equipment.
    In that status profile double click on your status which is presently active on your equipment.
    There you will be able to see reason due to which serail number change is not allowed.

  • Log changes of Serial number change in sales order

    Hello Experts,
    The change documents does not log changes to serial number for an item.
    So far i found that there is standard change document object for sales order i.e. VERKBELEG
    Is there a way to add new table to existing object.
    Or how can i achieve this.
    Best Regards
    Rajat

    Hello Adriano
    Not fully sure about your requirement.
    But you can definitely assign Serial numbers to sales order items by selecting the item and  choosing  menu path Extras/Technical objects.
    Firstly you have to set up the Serial Number Profile ( T Code OIS2)  or use the standard delivered ones GG00/GG01. Both have the Serialization Procedure SDAU - Serial numbers in SD order and in case of GG00, the serial numbers are assigned automatically. I am not sure how automatic assignment works but you can test it. Of course, you need to specify the Profile  in the material master to use the functionality.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • If i restored my iphone from being disabled will the serial number change?

    I restored my iphone from being disabled. I did not check my serial so im not sure if that happens?

    No, the serial number and the IMEI number do not change, they are burned into the firmware and are permanent.
