Replacing the motherboard, update service number?

I just replace the motherboard in my Dell One 2020 AIO. Never having done it before, I followed the instructions in the manual of the Dell user religiously, until the end, where I ran into a problem. The manual shows the final step;

"Enter the BIOS serial number".
1. turn on the computer.
2 press during POST to enter the system setup program.
3 navigate to the main tab and enter the Service Tag entered serial number. »

Well, when I tried to do, I find the serial number field is already filled in and I can't understand how to change it. I checked my other computer and it seemed to be the same. How can I change the Service number in the configuration of the system?

Looks like the system is no longer under warranty, which is what the serial number is required for.

And on most motherboards, you can enter a serial number once. So, if it is a Board of opportunity, you probably cannot change anyway.

  • Want to 800-060: reactivation after replacing the motherboard

    I bought a HP Envy 800-060 with Windows 8 pre - install Amazon in July of 2013. It was an incredible computer since that time, and when the free update of Windows 8 for Windows 10, I did immediately released. Recently, however, the motherboard has failed on the computer. It would not stay same POSITION, and after much troubleshooting, I finally decided to replace the motherboard. Now that the computer is running again, I guess that the motherboard change was sufficient for the operating system to think that it is no longer enabled. I was never provided with a key of Activation of OS (Win8 has been pre-installed), and Microsoft has suggested that I contact HP to find the original key. I've looked everywhere on the chassis and inside the tower for a valid Windows activation key, nothing helps. I tried to find a phone number to call for support, but my product is outside the guarantee. I don't need advice or troubleshooting tips (so I don't pay the $59.99), all I need is my activation key valid Windows based on my serial number of the product. Anyone know the best way to achieve HP with this problem and have it is resolved?

    Thanks in advance!

    The unfortunate, is that your original product key has been incorporated in the firmware original by HP motherboard UEFI when the PC was built.  There is no way to recover this key now.

    HP retains no record of keys to individualized product corresponding to individual computers, so they won't be able to provide you with the original key - and they are under no obligation to provide you with a SECOND key, that you didn't do the replacement of HP hardware.

    With the product now being out of warranty, it's really call HP or not you upload support - and the experience I have had with older equipment-, they do that, there's just no way around IDs.

    HP customer support is really the only way you have to get support.  If they don't help you for free, because your PC is out of warranty, there is nothing we can do about it on this forum.

    2. my motherboard is broken - beyond repair and I need a new, same motherboard that the original is not found. Is it possible to order directly form maker? If there is, I would ask for contact and some tips.

    I'd appreciate any help ^^

    You have listed two different models, of which one is an AMD processor and the other is Intel. I will assume that you have the Intel model. Otherwise after return to clarify and we can do it for a model of AMD. Even if you have a processor AMD motherboard described below would be better, but you will have to get a motherboard and processor, of course.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Your manual

    Your listing:

    You have an i7-3630QM and nVidia GT650M video.

    The jury will have a faster processor; up to an Intel Quad Core i7-3840QM but it is no better than the 650 M video, you already have. In other words, you have the top of the motherboard brand for this model, and no better motherboard will fit in the chassis.

    You have this motherboard:

    To be used on computer models equipped with an Intel quad core NVIDIAR GeForceR 650 graphical subsystem of M with 2 GB memory discreet and operating system Windows 8 Standard 682040-501

  • Reactivate Windows 7 after replacing the motherboard

    I had to replace the motherboard. I have a 3-license Windows 7, installed copy on 3 machines (including this one). Windows tells me I have to reactivate, but the system of automatic phone won't let me because he thinks he's already on 3 machines. I can't find a way to learn how to talk to a person to explain. There was a previous answer saying to call the activation number but not to choose all the guests, but who never goes to a live person; the fair guests get an angry sounding, and finally he told to go away and come back when you're ready to do it properly.

    I don't know where you want to get the new motherboard, but if you want to buy it by some authorized service they should now what they offer.

    I don't know if anyone here has the same machine and can help you with this. What you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help.

  • a610n - fan error of the system after replacing the motherboard

    Hi all

    I just replaced the motherboard on my system (phone http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/M2N68-LA-Narra-2-Replacement/td-p/3711774) and now I get this error when starting: Fan failure system, PC service to avoid any damage. I thought it was the CPU fan but he was running and after some research, I realized that he could talk a case fan.

    As a side note, the motherboard, I had was a little different and missing 2 connections that seem to be the front mic/headphone and USB ports.

    Now, the case's fan then what really is the problem? Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you

    -Panos

    The rev3.02 of M2N68 - THE Committee a case fan rear 3 poles. See here.

    The CPU fan is a 4 pin cable and attaches to the appropriate header to 4 pins on the motherboard. See the representative schema above.

    As for you, another question, the front USB port attaches to a USB connector on the card.

    Hello

    How old is your machine? If you still have your warranty, so why not give your machine to a local service partner?

    So if you don t give something on your guarantee you can trade your coins. But to look for the pieces on google and you won´t get any help from toshiba (e.g. manual disassembly or something similar).

    I tried long before your request and I made my experience that if you want to open your machine your completely on your own.

  • Qosmio F10: RAM upgrade issue after replacing the motherboard

    In 2006, when my F10 - 128 fell down as a fault of the video card, Toshiba has replaced the motherboard (865 PM) of my F10 by a new one with the video card installed in Go 6600.
    When I came back, I noticed that the same RAM modules have been installed (2 x 512 MB DDR 333 Mhz) as I previous had on the old motherboard.

    Then, I assumed that I could easily upgrade to DDR2 RAM, I realized that this type of RAM supported by the new motherboard installed (915 PM?). But the modules DDR2 Ram (Kingston 1 GB SODIMM (KVR533D2S4 - 1 G) 533 MHz) that I ordered is simply not in the storage media... The notch in the module is placed differently that the modules of RAM DDR.

    If the jury has been replaced by a newer version, with the video card Go 6600 (PCIexpress), how is, I have a Council that can not support DDR2?

    Here, I am really confused. Someone at - it advice please?

    > If the jury has been replaced by a newer version, with the video card Go 6600 (PCIexpress), how is, I have a Council that can not support DDR2?
    I think the jury is still supported DDR2 memory modules, but the allocation of the memory pins could be different.

    You should contact the ASP in your country and ask for the compatible modules.

  • Qosmio F10 recover after replacing the motherboard

    I'm having a problem with my Qosmio F10 recovery. It won't boot from the CD, I get a message "media test check the cable failure".
    I tried everything I could find here on this issue without any results. Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.

    I got a new motherboard and CD/DVD player put some time ago.
    How can I make it work again?

    A.

    > Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.

    Who replaced the motherboard? THE ASP?

    Well, usually the recovery CD should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
    I presume that the parts have been replaced with exactly the same parts and so it should t be a conflict between the recovery and the new motherboard CD.

They are all the same size and shape, but W510 boards have 4 memory slots and use a different cooling fan.

    Only problem is that Windows 7 requires now that I'm using an illegal copy of Windows.

    I know that the reason is that the version of Windows OEM is selected with the original motherboard.
