    Did flashing laptop bios change it’s serial number?

    Hi all
    Been wondering if flashing bios with bios programmer (bin file) also change it's serial number?
    If it's so, can i edit the bin file to change it's original serial number?
    Thanks before

    Maybe. If you have a backup the DMI might be easy to copy from one to the other.DMI tools are available as well

        Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
        by Wahaz
        Hello,

        I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
        So I thought it was a Bios problem.
        I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....

        by TecnicaNTT
        Hi all,

        I got a Lenovo Thinkbook 16P G2 ACH on the bench with a botched BIOS (somehow my client blanked it). I restored the laptop and got it up and running with original BIOS from Lenovo Support website.

        I tried to write the details with the Lenovo Uone Tool but had now luck. It is giving me an error: "ERROR: Locate protocol with LenovoEeprom, Status=[e]. EEPROM fail when reading or writing data."
        I am now asking here for help if anyone knows how to do this in...
