    HP EliteBook 8460P tattoo BIOS

    I am looking to "tattoo" or change the product, serial number, and UUID on my replacement system board. I have a HP EliteBook 8460P that had a defective system board, no video. I purchased a used board and it fixed my video issues and booted into Windows 10. The BIOS does not reflect my product, serial number, and UUID that I had, and is under the battery. I have tried several versions of the NbDmiFit tool and I get back "failed to write SKU number" and " Failed to write model name" ErrorCode=0x89. I tried the tool from within Windows as well from the wndmifit folder and I get system board not compatible. I must be missing a step, I can't believe this can not be done. Any help?

      Try using Mazzif elitebook/probook unlock tool.
      It also has program option.

      If you want to program using nbdmifit, you need to unlock mpm (manufacture programming mode). I think first run on mazzif's tool did that.

        The right BIOS Programmer - The right software (HP Elitebook 820 G1, 840 G2) no soldering, EC, DMI, ME
        by STKR123
        Greetings badcaps community,

        I havent done this for a long time and want to start it all again, after some evil and annyoing illness.
        So I apologize in advance, if some phrases might sound a bit like gibberish or illogical to you.

        Im trying my best to fully describe what I plan to achieve and hope I was choosing the right sub-forum for my new adventure.

        I have a Elitebook 820 G1 and a Elitebook 840 G2 here.

        These ask for a password when entering the BIOS, but boot just fine from the internal SSD.

        I learned that desoldering...

        Elitebook 850 G5 BIOS bricked
        by Guest
        Hello,

        I have an EliteBook 850 G5. After a Windows update, including a BIOS update, the notebook turns on, but the screen remains black, and the fans spin at high speed—nothing else happens.

        I assume the BIOS update failed, so I searched for the BIOS chip.

        I found a Winbond chip located between the RAM and the hard drive, which has a size of 32 MB.

        However, the BIOS update available on HP's website is only 17 MB in size. I used the update version that was previously installed when the notebook was still working.

        Can the corrupted...

        ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
        by jbonavita
        Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
        With original bios no POST, only LED lights
        With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
        Some issues
        A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
        B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

        Things I tried

        1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...
