HP Elite 8300 USDT lost mac address after bios dump

[Andreasbest]

Hello.
I programmed new bios to a bricked 8300, the pc revived, the MAC address and some other info though not (see image)
Is there any way to edit them?

Thank you in advance!!!

I think you will need a complete dump from another board, the BIOS files that the standard user have access is usually only for the "software" area of the BIOS memory, the other area is where the MAC address and other info about built-in equipment are identified and those doesn't change when upgrading a BIOS memory.

A BIOS dump would be my first step, I believe that someone here have one that can send it to you, and from there try to understand how to change the address.

See post #2 - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=89270 .Try the ASRock intel MAC tools.

Post your old bios backup if you want the other info adding, or just use nbdmifit.

Thank you, the Intel tool worked like a charm (ASRock didn't)
Thank you again both!

Is there any guide with instructions on how to edit SN with hex?
Although no big trouble since as the rest of missing info don't affect any of pc operations.
