Motherboard serial number

Hello,
I have a Pavillion dv6 and I would like to know the serial number of the origianl motherboard.
the notebook does not switch on anymore,
I brought it to repair twice and they told me who have changed the motherboard,
but after a few days the problem is back.
I think that they didn't change anything but I need evidence.
Thanks in advance
Alex

How to get the motherboard serial number?

Hi
i am writting an application which will encrypt the motherboards serialnumber and other info to do an activation of my application.
inevitably locking my program to a specific PC.
Does anyone know how i can get the motherboards serial number?
I tried the wmi but get so many errors like missing prototype and not declared.
I dont know when to start using the Windows Management Instrumentation with regards to Lab windows/CVI.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Shako
Help share your knowlegde

I made up a small example that shows how to use WMI in CVI.
Unfortunately, I tested it on two systems (Win XP and Win7) and the serial number that can be retrieved in System Enclosure (that should be the S/N assigned by the PC producer) is always blank.
I will try to locate additional infos on this matter, in the meanwhile you may want to experiment with the example and search for other available infos (like for example OS or disk s/n) to create your own security system.
The example can be found here.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Restore notebook serial number by IMEI/WIFI MAC/motherboard serial

Hello! I've got X1 carbon for 2 years. Unfortunately, today it stopped working...
Since the warranty is 36 months, I'm going to bring it to service. BUT. Unfortunatelly, the sticker with serial is lost. Is it possible to restore the serial by modem IMEI (shown on modem card) or wifi MAC? Or may be by motherboard serial number? I wonder, how authorized service would check if my notebook has warranty left (it does not boot!)I have invoice left. However, no serial is printed on it....

Hi
Laptop s/n could be rewritten easy via WMIC interface or some tools, so the service technician may request additional proofs.
Any way:
1. open command prompt window and execute the following commands:
wmic.exe csproduct get vendor,name,identifyingnumber
wmic.exe baseboard get product,serialnumber
wmic.exe nicconfig where DHCPEnabled='true' get caption,macaddress
2. there are several codes on the systemboard surface that might proof your laptop legality:
- somewhere, but at the visible area, system board s/n is being placed. It begins with "11S" symbols (22 in total), includes systemboard manufactured p/n that matches with one you've got via WMIC and Lenovo partslookup service shows by laptop s/n. The 2nd part of that s/n on the systemboard includes its short s/n that matches with one you've got via WMIC;
- there should be Ethernet adapter MAC address on the laptop base cover internal side. It should match with one you've got via WMIC.

Probook 4515s invalid serial number after format.

Hello from beautiful Greece.
I have a probook and for many months it closed many times by it self. So i think that was fun problem. I decide to make a format and after that my pc doesnt open again.
I take a screen with invalid serial number at the left corner and after that nothing, blank screen. When i go to bios i see that there are no infos about hdd, cs, motherboard serial number etc, so i cant boot from usb. I also delete the recover section on my hdd and i cant run recovely.
I reinstall the bios but nothing. Any soloution?

Hello dskal

Asking for 16-digit serial number after installing new motherboard

Hi, my computer's motherboard died and I got a new one installed. I own Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium and it is installed on this machine. Since I got the new motherboard, if I start up an Adobe application the Adobe Application Manager pops up and asks me for a 16-digit (all numerals) serial number. But the CS6 serial number is NOT all numerals and is NOT 16 digits, so it won't let me type it in. I have no other serial number. How can I fix this? Currently my apps are still working, but I think they think they are a trial version that expires in 30 days. I'm using it on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.3. Thanks.

YOu are wrong. Serial numbers are always only numbers. What you have is an eligibility code. Since you obviously already activated it a nd exchanged it for a final serial number, it must be somewhere on your account or your archived e- mails. If not, contact support directly by web chat.

Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with serial number invalid error in your k450e desktop.
As the motherboard been replaced the serial number and MTM number must be updated this is a new motherboard, you can visit to the nearest authorized service center for the serial number update in the BIOS.

No valid serial number for the motherboard

I had my HP compact presario CQ40 416AU repaired by a hp service center and when they returned my laptop a message showed that there is no valid serial number for my motherboard. The laptop is working properly. I just want to know what this means and is it ok to use it? how can i fix this issue? can anybody help me...... thanks

HP should have entered that information into the bios when they serviced it, they are the only ones that can do this, it is called a bios Tattoo, if there is other information missing also (motherboard number), the HP recovery discs will no longer work on the notebook.
Contact HP about this issue.

Get NI RMC 8355 motherboard and CPU serial number programmatically

Hi all,
I need to read the motherboard or CPU serial numbers of the NI RMC 8355 programmatically.
I have tried to use "wmic baseboard get serialnumber" comand in cmd, but it returns "0123456789", which apparently is not a valid serial number.
Does anyone have any idea how I can read that information?
Is there any toolkit or LabVIEW VI which will do that job.
Thanks in advance.

Gevorg,
This is a Windows property that you can access the same way you would with a desktop PC, using the 'wmic baseboard get serialnumber' command.

Does serial number come with specific motherboard or it's replaceable?

Hello guys, there have been a lot of sudden death issues of Z3C and I was one of the victims too, luckily just got it back after nearly 2 months wait
Anyway I was told that they had replaced a new motherboard to fix the problem, but I don't really think so because when I went to the repair centre they gave me a paper with a parts list they repaired and replaced, which included screen, lock button and so on but no "motherboard" or "mainboard" written on it, I looked again and again just to make sure. If they did change the motherboard, would there be a new serial number because when I checked it in the Android setting it is still the same as the first time I bought it, is this true or they can insert the same serial number into the new motherboard? I know this may sound crazy or dumb, I will be happy if they didn't because there's still a chance for me to retrieve all the previous datas which meant so much to me. Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks for your reply Thommo, I had already contacted Xperia care there was nothing they could do to retrieve the data, but I have just found Wondershare Dr.Fone and some other data recovery softwares that can help to retrieve the lost data for non-rooted phones. However I don't know why only Z3C needs to be rooted in order to perform data retrieval but as stated in other websites rooting Z3C will void the DRM that result in bad quality low-light photos... So if possible I will unroot it but it seems like there hasn't been a way released yet to unroot Z3C so far, right? So I'm like stuck in between
So before I root I just want to confirm if the IMEI / serial number comes with specific motherboard, if yes then there's still hope left to get back everything I want because that means they didn't replace the motherboard at all!

Third Party replaced Motherboard under warrantee, did a great job. Serial Number issue

IdeaCentre B500 Serial Number is reflected in bios as not matching since the MB changed today. Is that going to cause any issues with future warrantee work (which I don’t expect) and will it effect any other functions such as recovery is needed

No, not a refurbished phone. Brand new in the packaging from Vodafone. I am currently researching the alleged "third party hardware" and believe it is the dock connector that Apple claim they didn't put there. These retail at about £4.99. Believe me, if I had had a third party repair of a £4.99 piece of kit I would just do it again not take it to Apple to try and fix. There is no logic to it. I'm not going to go down the cynical route of the fact that this "intruder discovery" was made whilst the phone was out of my sight being worked on by their repair staff!?!?
I have also discovered there is no one to email at Apple to complain. The only suggestions appear to be phoning or the Genius Bar. Obviously, I've been to the Genius Bar to be told that they won't do anything because of this mysterious intruder in their phone.
Further, I am now in a position where I cannot dispute that the phone has been opened as it now has; by Apple. The staff admitted that before they opened it "it didn't appear to have been opened before" but they stuck by their "we won't do anything" stance upon their discovery.
I've got a photo of the inside of the phone and to my untrained eye everything appears immaculate. None of of the screw heads, numerous of which would have to be removed and replaced for the "intruder" to get in there, are marked in anyway. Can't see why anyone would go to the trouble.
The phone isn't even under warranty so it's not like I'm trying to get a new for old - I just wanted it fixed by the "experts".
Rest assured, I will get to the bottom of this.

I use this computer stictly for audio recording.
Pro Tools 10.3.7
Interface Apollo 16
Pro Tools is curretnly not compatible with Maverick. Also, I believe that Pro Tools 10 only allows 4GB ram to be utilized (not sure )
I know Pro Tools 11 allows more, but not sure how much more. Also not sure if the upgrade to Pro Tools 11 I will have to purchase all new plug ins or if my existing ones will continue to work in it.
The platform changes from 32 bit to 64 with the upgrade to 11
If it is as simple as adding more ram, what mode-part #l would you recomeend. Can the processor be upgraded also ?
The new tube like Macs are non compatible with UAD Cards. Those cards a must my sessions

You can use Activity Monitor to check if apps run as 32 or 64 bit - simply look at the "Kind" column (you may need to select it under View -> Columns) and see if the app in question is listed as "Intel" i.e. 32 bit or as "Intel (64 bit)".
While in Activity Monitor you can also check if Pro Tools is close to the 3-4 GB limit of a 32 bit app - if you aren't you will probably not benefit from more RAM.
Your MacPro (it appears to be a Early 2009 model) should have come with a small booklet showing how to install RAM and what kind of RAM that you need. Any RAM that fulfills the requirements should work but your safest choice is probably to buy from a retailer/online store that supports Macs as they will usually know what kind of RAM you need for your mac model.
Upgrading the CPUs should be possible, but I haven't seen Apple document how to do this, so you will probably have to google around a bit to find instructions and CPU part numbers.
Your choice of CPUs will also be limited by the motherboard and CPU socket so you may be limited to faster version of your current CPU chip and some slightly newer versions.
Going from your current CPU to the fastest version included in the 2009 MacPros would be going from 2.26 GHz to 2.93 GHz. This would only give a modest 30% speed boost. Using newer and highly clocked CPUs might boost this somewhat more maybe to 50% ?

Photoshop Elements Serial Number Deactivation Question

I bought Photoshop Elements 8.0 a few years back and have been using it happily and successfully since. However, I have now run into a serial number activation problem that will not allow me to use the software. The error given is: "Our records indicate that this serial number has already been used to set up and activate Photoshop Elements 8.0 on two other machines, which is the maximum allowed."
Of course, it is simple enough to deactivate a computer if that computer is accessible, but therein lies the problem. One of the two machines that is taking up my activations is my old Macbook, which experienced a total motherboard failure in March 2-13. I restored onto my new Macbook from a Time Machine backup, but when I did so, PSE required me to re-enter my serial number. This was easy enough, but it considers this new Macbook to be a third activation and thus will not allow me to use the software. And, of course, given that my previous Macbook is dead and gone, I cannot access my old Macbook to deactivate the software there.
What can I do to solve this?
Computer specifications: Macbook Pro, 15" (bought 2013). Mac OS X Version 10.8.5. 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7 processor with 8 GB of RAM. The software is Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0
