I can get you the Lenovo DMI tool just let me know if thats something you want / need. It's a bootable USB you can change the serial and model and generate a new UUID for the board.
For anyone trying to reboot a Windows PC that just ignores your button presses and boots super fast to Windows. Hold down the shift key while pressing shut down, this will make it shut down completely and not so fast boot when you turn it on.
I did over 100 of these for a friend of mine who was in the same predicament. Bought it from an auction, was gonna throw them out. I love my little programmer. Took me about 10 days to get them done. This is fasted way, but I did take the board out and put it in a clamp.
You should buy a few 1.8v adapters for the programmer. Replace the V Rev on a couple to 3.6v then you are covered for all bios ic's. I learnt the hard way after burning a few out with 5V
kind of same thing with Windows 11 TPMS, you got to remove the hard drive, completely wipe it on a different pc, delete all partitions, then re-install it to the problem computer, otherwise you will get the bios screen, then completely black screen when it tries booting from usb drive to re-install windows.
As mentioned in another comment, this is Microsoft Autopilot. The hardware hash (at least the serial number) has been uploaded to Microsoft and is registered, so when the laptop boots after a fresh install, it talks to Microsoft and tries to enrol with that company and set itself up. As you've found, changing the serial number defeats it :)
Good stuff. Always strikes me as crazy how much physical space in machines these days is given over to battery or losing heat compared to actual processing etc.
There's so many of these laptops on ebay. I have 2 myself, and they're worth every penny. I've had to do loads of those HP's from school, but they're easy you just remove the battery and pop it back in. On next boot you can install.
This is Intune .. Normally they are enrolled in the with the serial number if you can find out who manages the tenant you can request the machine is removed or decommissioned ..
Youre probably cloning the same serial number to each of these machines same as when you change the ps5 disk edition bios to a digital edition. What you could do is search for the serial number in hex find the first location in the data, note it down and go into the clean bios. Go to the same location see if it has a similar string of character to denote the serial number field. Record the serial number thats in the clean bios then find and replace with the original serial number. It would make for a clean conversion. I used to edit or straight up diasble wifi card white list in bios's for hp dv series laptops and used this strategy.
The serial number is one of the things that needs to be changed. With a different serial number the calculated hardware hash that identifies it as being MDM managed will no longer match, so MDM isn't triggered. If you put the same values back, the hash will match again and trigger MDM during installation.
@@sporknife123 where on the board would it be if not in the bios? If it is on the board and not stored in the bios then I guess he doesnt have to worry about having multiple tablets with the same serial numbers.
What happens if you just use the built-in OEM recovery partition to put the computer back to the way it came from the factory rather than reinstalling fresh from USB? Obviously the benefit would be it would keep all the factory software and drivers and keep the recovery partition.
There is a simpler solution. They make "clips" that look like alligator clips with 8 pins coming off that would let you very quickly program this chip without even removing or soldering anything, I use them a lot to speed up bulk programming.
I highly recommend using a dediprog with a pomona soic8 clip to read and flash the bios in the future, saves you the trouble of the removing the chip 😄
Iv installed windows in a few company machines which were heavily restricted you couldn't even download a file without being the administrator . But all the machines I did were the hp elite pc but I just booted into the BIOS and made sure boot with usb was enabled then repair pc and wiped every partition on the drive so only the actual drive was there the installed fresh windows 10 from usb and I still have that pc at the minute which iv had 3 years now dose the job. But don't know about a windows tablet thought it would be the same
I had an Lenovo Tab10 android tablet with detachable keyboard unit it fell off the couch and busted the screen. I would have replaced if the screen wasn't around $100 and I had the skill for getting the old glued in screen off.
Is it possible to buy one of these machines from you Phil? I could really do with one just for car diagnostics if working on my car, easier than having a laptop!
Yeah I've got them on ebay for £150 or I can do them for £120 if you want to buy it through the online store. Just get in touch and we can work something out;)
If he hadn't given them the money back they'd of probably just banned him from using the buying counter lol, I used to be a buyer for another store a few yonks ago. Happened fairly often 😅
Great stuff, look like it may have been using windows Autopilot part of Intune. I noticed it had Win11 on before you wiped it, I take it that installs/activates ok too
Whatup coder how you doing.. please upload the ps5 repairs videos more often.. im never gone use the information i receive but i like to watch you repair those boards.. its very entertaining keep it up bro
Not everyone sells stuff for a habit though bud. I've sold stuff to cash gen before and I don't drink and don't take any drugs at all (apart from cigarettes and coffee lol). Same as my brother in law, well, he smokes cannabis recreationally and drinks a bit but he has a good job and gets paid well 😉 and yeah, I was having Internet issues lol

Much you selling them for?

Oh and be carefull because when updating them if it does use windows update driver files they sometimes break more than fix at least my experience lol

@@incandescentwithrage so mdm is like a vpro chip and is seperate from the bios is what youre saying?
the serial number is on the board, lenovo has a tool to easily change it but it's only given to repair centers.
@@sporknife123 where on the board would it be if not in the bios? If it is on the board and not stored in the bios then I guess he doesnt have to worry about having multiple tablets with the same serial numbers.
Watching "movies" in bed. Sure. I believe you. 😂🤣

What are these called or where do you get them ?
Nice one, you always find a way 👍
I highly recommend using a dediprog with a pomona soic8 clip to read and flash the bios in the future, saves you the trouble of the removing the chip 😄
Hmmm. I wonder if a clip on bios reader would work for this.
Fairplay
just curious , if i forgot my bit locker key , can i reflash the bios and get the hardware working again ?
It depends on which model
had no idea this existed. just think of what military uses, there tech is years ahead of us civilians.. cool vid man
I wouldn't have given them the money back either. They bought it as is. Their problem. Yankee approved.
Wonder if you can do a video on bios unlocking on business Lenovo laptops. I know has to do with bios chip

Hi Phil I am interested in buying one of the lenovo laptops can you tell me how much they are please.
"Specced out"
They have awful specs lmao, but i do like 2in1 Tablets,
I'd like to see more PC repairs along with the Macbooks
Anything you happen to stumble across from clearance that might be useful to us ;) ;)
Interesting vid Philly
What leaded solder do you use? The link in description is broken :(
Kester or Loctite 60/40 works well for me
I need a basic thing like that fir Spotify were can I get one from
Tape back on Web cam ??
Hey man! Great video! Are you going to be getting any more of the tablets back?
Cheers mate. Yeah very likely but I can't say when. It all depends when Ladbrokes tell them to go to another store really
@@TheCod3r yeah I get that, just means I have to watch more of your videos 😉
@@lewisclaridge6884 haha sounds good to me 🤣
Please share aliexpress link for buy thermal paste

Where is the shack you were in?

Imagine, you would repair all my ipads with bad batteries (5) lol. I did one and it was painful
This is freaking brilliant, well done mate

I haven't tried Windows 11 mate because it sucks. I just leave 10 on it and it's up to the next owner to install 11 if they prefer lol
@@TheCod3r fair point 😂
Nice! 😁
Hello Phil
That’s sweet nicely done.
Really interesting video, thanks! 👍🏻
Great job ! Thanks Phil :)
Hey what’s up man
You can do it fix your laptop. 😊
Do that 3070 work? if so are you selling it? and if so how much?..... sooo many if's and so's
please tell me you didn't shove 5v into a 1.8v chip xD
Hello
Wipe driver
Sorry, mate...You trust yourself, but I don't think I'll trust you. You've got a wild streak about you ;)
Whatup coder how you doing.. please upload the ps5 repairs videos more often.. im never gone use the information i receive but i like to watch you repair those boards.. its very entertaining keep it up bro
Crappie generator lol
Cash Generator Broke My Laptop dont get it
Nice job....comb ya hair bud
Step one: don't use cash generator, they know people sell stuff for a habbit.
Is that ipconfig in the background ;)
Not everyone sells stuff for a habit though bud. I've sold stuff to cash gen before and I don't drink and don't take any drugs at all (apart from cigarettes and coffee lol). Same as my brother in law, well, he smokes cannabis recreationally and drinks a bit but he has a good job and gets paid well 😉 and yeah, I was having Internet issues lol
Cash rip off generator
Intel celeron isnt a good processor at all ! Its the cheap mans processor fgs 😂
