Change Serial Number Phoenix Bios Setup

1 Jan 2000admin

There was an error-wrong rom id, bu I used switch /x to ignore it. After flashing BIOS is unlocked, everything works, but serial number in BIOS is incorrect. BIOS shows serial number from laptop that was without BIOS password. I tried many programs to change serial, but non of them does work.

Urbanexplorer is correct about the older service tag utilities, I'm not sure why the Dell rep would lie about that utility, you can use it on any of the older models regardless if there was a blank tag or not. The utility I was using would not work on any of the E-series machines most notably the E6400 when it first came out, it worked on all D-series machines. In any event I will try the utility tomorrow, thanks for posting Paul.

Hi, I have two Panasonic toughbook CF-31 with AMI BIOS. One with locked BIOS, another on is OK. I used afudos to dump rom file from that unlocked one, and flashed bios on that locked one with that rom file. There was an error-wrong rom id, bu I used switch /x to ignore it. After flashing BIOS is unlocked, everything works, but serial number in BIOS is incorrect.

I read that DMIEDIT should work but I cant find link for download. Does anyone have that program or some other idea? I probably use wrong version of DMIEDIT so I cant change it that way.

After I change serial in DMIEDIT and read bios rom file again, open it in hex editor I can see that new number, but it is probably in wrong location so bios cant read it. If you open BIOS rom file in notepad++ you can see first 5 characters of serial and two more some characters. Those two characters represent last five digits of the serial. So this is the procedure: - read ROM file from locked bios, open it and find serial number (7 characters - 5 are OK, 2 are encrypted).

- open ROM file of unlocked bios, replace serial numbers (I found it 7 times in file) with the serial from locked bios file. Replace all 7 characters. - save and flash bios with that file of unlocked bios.

Now, bios is unlocked, serial number is from locked bios, and it is OK. I get error before flash bios that ROMID is different, but there is switch /x to ignore it. Maybe someone know how to fix it? If some have some suggestions please write.
