Re: Hp Dv9310us no UUID or ser. number in bios

I had seen that very same fix for the network adapter mac address fix in the advanced section of properties and also you can do it in the registry as well, but when I saw everything all messed up in the bios I was not sure if needed to take care of that first. Now I know, I opened up a mac address generator and found the nvidia prefixes and went from there and worked right away!
Heres to learning, I knew though that it needed a mac address just why it went to 0's was freaking me out.
This laptop is pretty clean and plenty...

Re: Hp Dv9310us no UUID or ser. number in bios



Thanks Th3_uN1Qu3,
since it is not my computer (friends) and it is somewhat working, and there is a possibility for internet if I can change the mac address on the Lan then I will go for that for now, but am very interested in the process for future or for another hp I have that has the dreaded flashing caps lock and also it has a power charging issue but that could be another thread.

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everyone
I found my way here from a video trying to deal with a problem I am having and I just am awed at all the information available so far.
I have been playing with computers for quite some time and consider myself still a novice although I do build and repair my own and others (friends and family)
Love to learn new things and it seems with this so called hobby and the never ending development in tech it is very hard to keep up with.
I have no formal training except for the internet and my Son who...
