    Precision 3460 Small Form Factor BIOS

    Hi everyone,

    I have a Dell Precision 3460 Small Form Factor test unit. Its Service Tag was manually set to 1234567, which causes Dell to misidentify the device (it’s being recognized as a docking station), so I can’t use automatic driver updates or get proper support.

    The correct Service Tag should be: FXHFV04.

    Could someone please help me reset or clear the BIOS so I can re-enter the correct Service Tag?

    Any guidance or tools would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    I wrote a Python program myself to modify the service tag by searching for character segments. Unfortunately, the modification was unsuccessful.​

      SN: PF3G1REP
      MODEL: 20KW-00J1AU

      PROBLEM: Turns on blank screen, charging circuitry motherboard looks good. I have tried another firmware here - but resulted in 5V will not go to 20v due to different PD firmware I believe - using the current firmware it does go to 20V.
