edit service tag for e6420

[foziwazi]

is there a way to edit the service tag for e6420?
I had to replace the motherboard with a used one as the original got water spilled on it and wasn't warranty-able. The used motherboard has obviously a different service tag than the one at the bottom of the laptop.

In my Dell Latitude you can access the service tag in the Security section of the Bios where you enter the Admin password, (found at bottom of the screen)
This may apply to your Laptop too, worth a look

Dell has a tool for this job at their ftp site but I do not know if it works on your laptop.

Use it at your own risk !

Thanks Trebo.
The e6420 doesn't have that option.

This utility is for older models, I have an e6400 it works on it but not on the e6420.
I believe it works on all Dell models prior to the i3, i5 and i7 motherboards.
