    Need valid BUILID and FEATUREBYTE for an old HP elitebook 840 G1

    Hi there,

    after I broke the bios chip (leg broke off during soldering, probably a manufacturing defect; it came of with a chunk of the plastic case), I am trying to get the box working again with a replacement chip.
    For that I need to set a valid BUILDID and FEATUREBYTE. The Mainboard is Rev. 730804-001 and originally Windows 7 was installed.
    There is no sticker on the case and partssurfer does not have that information either.

    Would anybody be so kind to look at the info screen in the bios and copy those for me?
    I would like to install linux on this old hardware, so just need the bios running to do that.

    I could/should have copied all this information from bios info screen before I broke the bios chip --> call me an idiot, my only excuse is I have done tons of de-soldering and re-soldering and never had a problem.
Working...
