    HP650 ProBook G1 Product Information Not Valid

    Hello,
    I have a HP ProBook 650 G1 - when I start the laptop I am getting a message Product Information Not Valid. I know I am supposed to write the info manually, but I am not sure how. Which tool should I use to write the product info manually? I tried using HDMI tool and DR. Bios, but it's not working. MB manufacturer is Inventec.
    Waiting for helpful advice...
    Thanks

    MPM is unlocked.

      I tried doing everything as described in the link, but when I write in all the numbers and save after the setconfig, I restart the laptop and nothing is saved. I am not sure if my MPM is locked or not. It says *Lock.
      At the beginning of a video at the link, there is a message that MPM is unlocked. I am not getting the message.
      How can I unlock it? Using a smc.bin file, and where can I find it?
      Should I use WNDMIFIT after that?
      UUID option in BIOS says FFFFFFF.... Is it supposed to be like that?
      What should I do first and how can I solve this problem?
      Also, I can't find FEATURE BYTE number of my laptop. I have been using the number from another HP, same model.




      Thanks.

                use some software that can extract bios dump

                try from this post
                https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=54885

                but u dont need it

                u can use NBDMIFit or check if your bios contains tool for change this info.

                All info u can find onback side of chasis

                  I tried with universal bios toolkit 2.0 , but it cant identify bios.
                  I tried with NBDMIFit but it doesn't work.

                    Do I have to remove the bios chip from the MB to read bios?

                          I have ordered an sp eeprom programmer ch341a. I have read that I have to modify the pcb to 3.3 volts.
                          I have found the .bin bios files for my HP laptop.
                          The files are rar, and when I extract them I am getting a power.iso image file.
                          I have tried to extract it in Power Iso, but I can't.

                          How can I extract the bios files from power.iso image file to use the with eeprom programmer?

                          I am the beginner with this kind of problems, I could really use some help.

                          Thanks

                            Did u try use more NBdmifit versions? different versions is for different bios

                            did u try search in bios for page where u can change dmi info?

                            just flash that iso, but u want to read your bios. flashing that iso give u exact same result as u have now

                            CH341 use 3,3V so no other adapter needed for 3,3V bios ic

                            u need adapter if u want to flash 1,8V bios ic

                              I have tried different versions of NBdmifit for my bios, but without success.
                              I understand that .bin iso file is a bios - I opened it in Hex Editor.
                              I saw how to modify ch341a at this link

                                  This is my old bios file. I removed the BIOS form the MB and read the bios file.

                                  My bios chip number is 25Q128FVSO, but my USB Eprom CH341A recognizes it as 25Q128WBD. I have no other options to choose my file, but I managed to work with it without problems.

                                  I tried to read the new BIOS file to my laptop, but when I turn on the laptop I am getting the same error message.

                                  You said that you can help me. Thanks again.

                                        Thank you so much! Everything works!
                                        I read the new BIOS, soldered the chip to MB and it's great.

                                        Thanks
