This laptop is the same laptop I was working on in this thread and I wasn't sure if I should post a new topic or post in that thread because I already solved the issue that thread was discussing and this is a completely different issue although it is dealing with the same laptop. I decided to make a new thread since it's a new issue, but please move if I made a mistake.
Motherboard model number: DA0PAMB46A1 REV: A
Secondary motherboard model number: 0PAB
SKU: 685K4UA
Serial number is: 5CD3223BJP
Recently reflashed this laptop with latest BIOS and once I figured out it had a RAM issue as well (see other thread I linked to above if you want more background info about this laptop) and the laptop finally booted normally, I was met with a message saying something along the lines of, "Motherboard is in manufacture programming mode" and none of the identifying numbers was entered in the BIOS such as model, serial number, prodID, etc.
I was able to successfully set all of the relevant identification numbers for this model using HP's BIOS Configuration Utility (BCU), but I am stuck at the UUID part. I understand it can be retrieved from a BIOS dump and I tried looking through the dump in a hex editor, but I'm not sure where to look. I tried to search for obvious things like simply searching for "UUID" but that came up with no results. I think the UUID is supposed to be a 32 character string I just don't know how to find it in the BIOS dump with a hex editor and was hoping someone could help me out.
Attached is original BIOS dump. Thank you!
