These were the values in the BIOS after a successful boot, even though my system is AHCI the value in config.txt is IDE, so these values appear to have automatically defaulted to their originals during booting.Īfter resetting the values from the command prompt and the BCU with a new config.txt file the notebook reboots to "Manufacturing Program Mode 1 of 20" then reboots again to "Manufacturing Program Mode 2 of 20" and the boot fails because the BIOS values have been reset to defaults automatically.For simple notebooks, you might do this yourself. Here is a list of the settings from the config.txt generated by the biosconfigutility.exe Rebooting the computer completely resets the BIOS values to default and an iteration is added to "Manufacturing program mode 2 of 20"

My choice was a UEFI boot, so boot fails.Īfter resetting the BIOS values and rebooting through the Protector Suite error to the desktop, my cursor stops working correctly after a couple of minutes and only bounces across the top of the screen. It stops posting and requests a continue acknowledgement.Īll of the BIOS values have been reset to default, and boot fails as it tries to boot from a network connection. The Protect tools suite generates an error stating that the Motherboards and System IDs are invalid, and there are no values displayed. The BIOS post screen generates a message in white background with red letters "Manufacturing program mode 1 of 20" and after each reboot an iteration is added to the 1. HP Protect Tools Security Suite latest version

Validity fingerprint reader with Windows 10 driver from sp74390 If my post merits a perk, please send the config.txt value names to my email. My guess is that my motherboard wasn't programed by a certified technician, so the casual user gets caught in between again.

Still I like HP because they have Maintenance and Service manuals and got my problem mostly solved. So there is probably some way of programing those values in with the biosconfigutility.exe program, but the value names are a mystery only available to certified service people. Unfortunately the person who programed it wrong, also failed to program values for the motherboard so Protect Tools generates an error.

Evidently this turns off the Manufacturing Program Mode. The fix for this was to unplug and turn off the notebook 20 times. Wish I could post a picture of the Utility's output.Īfter the following "fix" my notebook rebooted and the clock was turned back to 1 of 20 and restarted all over.argh! Thanks again HP for allowing these tools to be out there so those of us forced to buy used equipment on eBay, can overcome what other technicians chose to sell off.

#BATCH FILE TO ACTIVATE SMART NOTEBOOK 17 SERIAL#
I ran the Patched EEPROM Utility Ver1.9.3 dated 208/04/17 and it showed ASCI values in the Asset Tag, Serial Number, Model Number, GUID, and UUID fields. The change in the bdmifit.bat file from a value of 230 to 300 should have worked if my EEPROM hadn't been owned.
