Can you use a hex editor ? Your bios BID is 08475A .

I found a virgin bios on the forum - https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...vy-13-ba0010nr

Copy the DMI from your backup to the new bios,the offsets that peste has posted are the same 400000 - 40103F

Hi Guys

This one seems to have developed an issue, it was working fine as far as i know but today its booting with message telling me manufacturing programming mode is in unlock mode. Not seen this before, is it just a bios setting needing adjusted

Thanks

Thanks Peste, Ive had a look at that today, but cant figure out what im supposed to be changing or configuring. I am able to dump the bios and modify in HXD then re program it back, is there anything i can change using that method that will get it out of this programming mode.

It still boots past the message after is displays, so it's not a big issue, but would like to learn how to deal with this new issue

Thanks for your time

Just going round in circles trying to download the tool to edit the values as done in the youtube video. But the download links just spam out with more pages every time i click to download the tool in the guys video.

Done a search for the MPM tool which didnt come up with any results either, do you know if this tool is available

Just use the same bios as before and copy your DMI to it. https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...56#post3270756

Hi

Yes i did that also, it only shows the unlocked message at boot, it does not show that any details are missing like serial number etc... so i assume they are all fine, look fine in the HXD view from the dump.

I will keep looking for the MPM tool for now, as its not causing any issue with the laptop booting etc...

Thanks for all the advice
