Re: Dell Precision M4800 posts but wont boot, no SVC tag
No i don't see it, is it possible that the screen would not be write protected in a different laptop? I've never had a wirte protect before, although this is also the first time i've encountered EDID fault in a precision laptop.
So far it's been mostly in alienwares.
I've put it aside and i'll get back to it when i get a different brand laptop to try and reflash it with
I've got another exactly the same display (N156HGE-L11) and i've pulled EDID from that one and compared it with the broken one......
Thank you to the guys at HEGE supporting Badcaps [ HEGE ] [ HEGE DEX Chart ]

Re: Dell Precision M4800 posts but wont boot, no SVC tag
Nevermind I've just figured the issue... there is something most likely wrong with the screen, i've swapped the boards in the chassis and now the working one gets stuck after post logo, and the "faulty" one got to BIOS and i was able to set the Service Tag xD
Just posting this here so future readers might solve their problem.
Now have to assemble them both back up and check if perhaps the EDID is corrupt on the "faulty" one :P

Dell Precision M4800 posts but wont boot, no SVC tag
I've been lurking around the forums for a long time and absorbing the knowledge.
I knew this day would come eventually xD, just didn't think it would be because of something like this.
I'm at an issue that I can't solve and i have not found anyone having a similar problem.
I have a Dell Precision M4800. The laptop POSTs and I can Press F2 or F12 and those get registered, but the laptop doesn't enter BIOS.
Instead, it always goes to a screen which says:
[B][I]WARNING: The Service Tag has not been programmed. This system will not function...
