Entering all CAPS? Is that a zero or letter? I wonder if there is a check-digit/hash on serial? If you just want it to go away (don't care what serial number is) you could try 1234567 ... because I've seen evaluation-units come to me that way before.

Hey, im stuck with troubleshooting my Dell 5540 i7 vPro with 203032-1 motherboard. Every time i try to leave manufacturing mode it stops booting. I've tried clean ME Region clean BIOS but nothing really helps. Any help would be much appriciated
Both chip dumps in attachments aswell as logs from MEInfo. I can't get the originnal bios to work, im only able to boot with clean BIOS
I've tried to update the BIOS via Dell Update (it skipped ME Region saying it's up to date) with /forceit flag, that didn't help and im suspecting the issue might be somewhere else

We have BIOS from brand new boards, that we thought we could overwrite old BIOS with this fresh copy but that doesn't seem to work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.... -

The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell... -

Hello, i just swapped CPU(i5-8350u) from fujitsu lifebook e548 to Dell Latitude E7490 Board, all resistances are fine, laptop wants to boot but after 1 second draw of 0,3A its turning off, after pressing power on button same situation. I've cleaned ME region and same situation. Is it boot guard problem - and if it is, is it any chance to bypass this or this cpu just can't be used in Dell.
