Cricket samrat magazine pdf download serial numbers#
open ROM file of unlocked bios, replace serial numbers (I found it 7 times in file) with the serial from locked bios file. So this is the procedure: - read ROM file from locked bios, open it and find serial number (7 characters - 5 are OK, 2 are encrypted). Those two characters represent last five digits of the serial. If you open BIOS rom file in notepad++ you can see first 5 characters of serial and two more some characters. Does anyone have that program or some other idea? I probably use wrong version of DMIEDIT so I cant change it that way.Īfter I change serial in DMIEDIT and read bios rom file again, open it in hex editor I can see that new number, but it is probably in wrong location so bios cant read it. I read that DMIEDIT should work but I cant find link for download. I tried many programs to change serial, but non of them does work. BIOS shows serial number from laptop that was without BIOS password. After flashing BIOS is unlocked, everything works, but serial number in BIOS is incorrect. There was an error-wrong rom id, bu I used switch /x to ignore it. I used afudos to dump rom file from that unlocked one, and flashed bios on that locked one with that rom file. Hi, I have two Panasonic toughbook CF-31 with AMI BIOS.
