HP650 ProBook G1 Product Information Not Valid

[dr.tubes]

Hello,
I have a HP ProBook 650 G1 - when I start the laptop I am getting a message Product Information Not Valid. I know I am supposed to write the info manually, but I am not sure how. Which tool should I use to write the product info manually? I tried using HDMI tool and DR. Bios, but it's not working. MB manufacturer is Inventec.
Waiting for helpful advice...
Thanks

MPM is unlocked.

Re: HP650 ProBook G1 Product Information Not Valid

I tried doing everything as described in the link, but when I write in all the numbers and save after the setconfig, I restart the laptop and nothing is saved. I am not sure if my MPM is locked or not. It says *Lock.
At the beginning of a video at the link, there is a message that MPM is unlocked. I am not getting the message.
How can I unlock it? Using a smc.bin file, and where can I find it?
Should I use WNDMIFIT after that?
UUID option in BIOS says FFFFFFF.... Is it supposed to be like that?
What should I do first and how can I solve this problem?
Also, I can't find FEATURE BYTE number of my laptop. I have been using the number from another HP, same model.




Thanks.

Re: HP650 ProBook G1 Product Information Not Valid

I tried with universal bios toolkit 2.0 , but it cant identify bios.
I tried with NBDMIFit but it doesn't work.

Do I have to remove the bios chip from the MB to read bios?

Re: HP650 ProBook G1 Product Information Not Valid

I have ordered an sp eeprom programmer ch341a. I have read that I have to modify the pcb to 3.3 volts.
I have found the .bin bios files for my HP laptop.
The files are rar, and when I extract them I am getting a power.iso image file.
I have tried to extract it in Power Iso, but I can't.

How can I extract the bios files from power.iso image file to use the with eeprom programmer?

I am the beginner with this kind of problems, I could really use some help.

Thanks

Re: HP650 ProBook G1 Product Information Not Valid

Did u try use more NBdmifit versions? different versions is for different bios

did u try search in bios for page where u can change dmi info?

just flash that iso, but u want to read your bios. flashing that iso give u exact same result as u have now

CH341 use 3,3V so no other adapter needed for 3,3V bios ic

u need adapter if u want to flash 1,8V bios ic

Re: HP650 ProBook G1 Product Information Not Valid

I have tried different versions of NBdmifit for my bios, but without success.
I understand that .bin iso file is a bios - I opened it in Hex Editor.
I saw how to modify ch341a at this link

This is my old bios file. I removed the BIOS form the MB and read the bios file.

My bios chip number is 25Q128FVSO, but my USB Eprom CH341A recognizes it as 25Q128WBD. I have no other options to choose my file, but I managed to work with it without problems.

I tried to read the new BIOS file to my laptop, but when I turn on the laptop I am getting the same error message.

You said that you can help me. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! Everything works!
I read the new BIOS, soldered the chip to MB and it's great.
