    HP Motherboard - BCU Tool access denied

    Hi everyone, I replaced a customers HP desktop's motherboard, first time ever replacing the full motherboard.
    After replacement, when booting up I get the message "Invalid or missing product information" etc, I'll include a picture. When entering the pc will just boot fine, but this doesn't look too professional towards the customer.

    With the help of Google I found out I have to use the Bios Configuration Tool to re-tattoo the serial and such back onto the motherboard, but when I want to do so trough the CMD I get errors saying "access denied". Anyone any experience with this? Thanx in advance!

    This is the video I was following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GrAg5KXEY4

              What main tab do you exactly mean?

                          The OP hasn`t mentioned the model number.. ,we could check if there`s an Interactive BIOS simulator ,and post screenshots.

                              If you transfered the bios chip then you would still have to tattoo it,also the ME firmware would need cleaning if its an Intel model.

                                          Hey, I'm very sorry but I can't really remember. I just kept messing around with it until it worked.

                                          Hello,

                                          I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

                                          My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

                                          The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

                                          Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
                                          by Docus
                                          Hi everyone 😀,

                                          I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

                                          To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

                                          Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
                                          1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.
                                          ...

                                          by acedogblast
                                          This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                                          There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                                          Subject is a blank screen issue in HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D version laptop with motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901 MB-A02. Production year is 2012. This one is a 2nd hand motherboard which I could use it for few months only. Suddenly no output from the internal display and also no signal from HDMI port then Windows out of order after few boots.

                                          Caps lock working normally and no HP's caps-lock warning blinks. Making a hard reset and replacing the RAM sticks or using different slots didn't help.
