The type of machine to 7 figures change when the renovation?

I bought a refurbished T420s. My machine type is 4171XF2 which is written on the back of the laptop.

It says on the box of the renovated 4171XF2 of 417153U package.

In the BIOS, the machine type is 417153U.

I typed in the s/n and 4171 on the looks of guarantee to the top of page and got 4171XF2 is my type of machine.

I'm worried about whether this is a genuine product.

Is it normal to have this difference type of machine?

Hello

You do not need to worry, it's normal that the refurbished computers. Each time is original machine number has changed to refurbished. But in the bios or system update, you might see the original.

  • Motherboard model H535 failure - the type of machine and the serial number invalid after replacement

    Does anyone know how to set the new Type of Machine and the serial number after a motherboard for a replacement model H535?

    The motherboard has recently failed on my model H535 (7 months after the expiration of the warranty - thanks, Lenovo). No local garage would agree to replace due to its nature of owners (thanks, Lenovo). I spent about four hours on the phone being bounced into back-and-forth between the many support staff (usually combined) Lenovo in sales, technical support, support of parts of IBM and various other departments (thanks, Lenovo), which one has suggested that I might have to try to find a motherboard on Ebay or Amazon for my computer in less-than-2-year-old. However, I finally get to someone at Lenovo, which has been able to sell a motherboard - for 2/3 of the cost of the original computer.

    Now, I installed the motherboard, and it works. However, during each boot, I get a POST with two beeps error which reads as follows:

    00CE error: Machine Type and serial number is INVALID

    Start of manufacturing sequence is taken if no selection is made

    I presume that the BIOS on the new motherboard must be programmed with the right Type of Machine and the serial number of my computer. I've read various things on the Internet about what to do, as updating the BIOS (I can not even find a BIOS under "downloads" of support for the H535 - thanks, Lenovo model), using WinPhlash (I apparently need one kind of BIOS ROM file to make it work, I don't have), getting a Lenovo hardware maintenance disk for my model (which apparently isn't available for other special people only me - thanks Lenovo), etc.

    The waiting time for Lenovo support are ridiculously long, and almost every customer support person is ridiculously uninformed on the difference between one of their computer models, and even less their motherboards (thanks, Lenovo). I am amazed and extremely frustrated. It shouldn't be rocket science.

    On a side note, I initially bought the computer from Staples with a credit card with extended warranty protection, which means I can get a refund for repair. Although the motherboard came with a packing list, no Bill has been provided by Lenovo, and I couldn't make them send one - or maybe even with success to explain what a Bill is (thanks, Lenovo).

    Well, Lenovo support was useless, and any alleged authorized suppliers were in fact still suppliers or could help with my problem. But I was finally able to fix it myself. Once I found the right piece of software, it has been fixed in less than a minute.

    My BIOS is by American Megatrends, and I discovered that they have a set of utilities that includes a called AMIDEDOS. It is intended for manufacturers to be able to change the strings of text stored in the BIOS for things like the manufacturer, product name, Version, number series, UUID, SKU number, family, etc., that is what I had to do. It is not intended for use by consumers, but it's there.

    When I ran the "DMIEdit.exe" program AMIDEDOS (clicked and ran as administrator from 10 Windows) and click on "System information" from the list, I saw "Product Name | STRING | Invalid' and ' serial number | STRING | NOT VALID ". The other fields appeared to have valid entries. I double-clicked on the fields valid and changed their "H535 model" and the serial number of my computer, respectively and then clicked on "Update all" at the top.

    Much to my surprise, he reported that he had successfully registered the new information. And, perhaps even more surprising is the fact that, when I rebooted, the double beep and the warning about the type of computer not valid and serial number have disappeared. In addition, the BIOS showed I had entered the new values, and the 'Manufacturing Boot Sequence' option (I understand can be much slower than a normal boot) had disappeared.

    Again, I'm a little surprised simple it was actually solve the problem once I got the correct software, or Lenovo part nor American Megatrends apparently offers to the owners, and it took hours and hours of research and research to understand. Use this information at your own risk, however, as playing with BIOS apparently can lead to problems not easily solved. That said, the modification of these text strings seems relatively safe.

    I will mention that I also ended up changing the method of "LEGACY" to "UEFI" boot in the BIOS after noticing that the selection.

  • X 220-windows cannot read the type of machine

    My X 220 recently had the motherboard replaced at a local authorized Lenovo service provider. They were only supposed to replace the fan but the connector broken speaker when they have been to remove the Board of Directors. Currently, Windows is not able to read the type of machine. System update does not work because of this. CPU - Z and hwinfo64 show the kind of machine that qqqqCTO as if she was a Virgin in the BIOS. Type of machine is properly in the BIOS correctly, but they left the serial number of the empty system. Could that be the cause?

    In case someone else runs into this problem: I solved the problem by running the BIOS update utility and using the option to change the model number. There is a note that says to delete what's there and leave the field blank to restore the factory setting. That did the trick.

  • That the restoration of a backup time machine, a previous password change?

    That the restoration of a backup time machine, a previous password change?

    It could, if the last backup was performed before the change of password, and she understood this password file.

    But if you are missing a password, see this article on the search for your password with the keychain:

    The fact that Time Machine does not have backed up prior to the change, or discarded a way to backup older you may have missed an opportunity to save, if you have changed it.

    Bought Probbok 4530 s. Win 7. I continue to have the screen/print resolutiom size change when you use the touch pad. The pointer seems to 'paste' and then when I move it, the screen get is much lower or higher. I continually have to type ctrl + or - to get the size of the screen back to the 'normal '. Is this something to do with the settings for the touchpad or pointer? Its driving me crazy...

  • Import photos into lightroom on another machine and keep your changes.

    My hard drive has failed, but I could extract my lightroom with my pictures folder and place it on an external hard drive. Is it possible for me to import the photos in that folder in lightroom on a new machine and keep my changes I made?

    CHETNA response is good for running off LR the external drive.

    If you prefer to use an internal hard drive, simply copy the catalog and images to the new internal drive, then "relocate" images using the link of Claes.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you are not abel to open a Numbers spreadsheet and get the error in quotes. This sounds like this document is defined for collaboration. Collaboration for numbers is explained in the following support article: collaboration for Pages, Numbers and Keynote
