You read that correctly- DISKETTE. As in floppy disk.

At some point the Motherboard was probably swapped/replaced. There is a security chip (EEPROM) on the board that has registered all the other hardware in the machine. When swapped into new/other hardware, it generates the errors your getting. Information that I'm finding is saying that the software needed to fix this is only available to Lenovo field techs (Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76). Or it would have to be sent in to the Manufacturer.

Plug in the USB floppy drive. Insert the floppy disk you've just created into the floppy drive. IMMEDIATELY upon booting the computer, press 'Esc' several times to make sure it takes. Pressing 'Esc' removes the computer's write protection, permitting you to change serial numbers, etc. Once you get past the splash screen, you will come to one of the following menus, with the following main menu and sub-menu choices: Hardware Maintenance Diskette, ver 1.75: 1. Set system identification • Add S/N data to EEPROM • Read S/N data from EEPROM • Delete S/N data from EEPROM 2.

All you have to do is copy the contents of this zip file and load it into a floppy disk. More instructions are in the zip file.

However, I cannot unlock write protected EEPROM. It keeps saying that the EEPROM is locked and I need to reboot and press ESC when Thinkpad Logo appears on screen. I tried but cannot unlock the write protection. If I press ESC during Thinkpad Logo appears, the system boots into Diagnostic Splash Screen instead of unlocking the EEPROM. I am just wondering how can I unlock write protection for EEPROM? I am using USB Thumb drive instead of Floppy Disk but I can get into the Lenovo's Hardware Maintenance Diskette interface with USB thumb drive. I hope that it works on USB drive.

(I am sorry for the question. I am just new to this forum). I think my problem now is how to unlock the write protected for EEPROM so that HMD can modify S/N for the machine. (By the way, EEPROM, can it be written multiple times?) victor S.F. Boss Joined: 07 Mar 2004 Posts: 2465 Location: Staff Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2014 9:05 pm Post subject: A replacement FRU unit. No need to send anything, just build the interface and follow the tutorial in this section and read the 8 leg eeprom.

You will see a blue screen with some descriptions of the tool. • Choose option 1, '1. ' or something like that. I can't remember now, but it's pretty straightforward once you are at this step. • Follow the instructions.

Burn the ISO to a CD and boot from it. At least on my l412, it works! Now the problem. I updated my system serial OK (using #20 in the menu and the sticker on the bottom of the laptop), but my motherboard serial is blank in the BIOS. Using #40 I can change this, but to what? There are 3 stickers on the motherboard (the FRU PN:75y4088, the MAC address, and one that I think is the serial #.) but what part of the sticker number do I enter?

And that seemed to work fine, but I didn't boot that stick, I reformatted it with the IBM utility noted above. When I free up another older stick, I'll make a couple Rufus sticks to see what tpcollection is talking about, but in my years on this board, I have no reason to doubt anything that RBS says on any topics on this forum.

Useful links: (including lots of wallpapers) (##ibmthinkpad on Freenode) Related Subreddits. This is awesome. I just got a Yoga 11e and the UUID, model type, and serial # in the UEFI are invalid. I just spent 2 hours at MicroCenter trying to get them to fix it; come home and find this post. Wish I had looked on reddit before doing that (and before scouring Google/other sites for hours for more info on this). Here's to hoping that it works.

Then, you have to boot your ThinkPad from the floppy disk you've just created. Make sure your BIOS boot-up sequence is set up to allow you to boot from a USB floppy drive. DO NOT write-protect the floppy disk - this won't work if the floppy disk is write protected. Shut down your ThinkPad.

How to make this 'Diskette' work: Note: If you don't have a legacy floppy drive A: in your ThinkPad, you WILL need to obtain and use a USB floppy drive. First, you need to extract the contents of the 'Diskette' file onto a 1.44 MB 3½' floppy disk, which must be inserted into drive A:. I'd advise formatting the floppy disk before you do this in order to make sure it's error free. Run the downloaded 'Diskette' file. You will have to press Enter several times as you read through 15 successive license agreement screens. Don't go too fast because, at the final screen, you must type 'Y' before pressing Enter.

Set ECA information • Write ECA/rework number to EEPROM • Read ECA/rework number from EEPROM • Delete ECA/rework number from EEPROM • Write box build date to EEPROM • Read box build date from EEPROM • Delete box build date from EEPROM For Hardware Maintenance Diskette, ver 1.75, on ThinkPad T42, for menu item 1. 'Set system identification' > 2. 'Read S/N data from EEPROM,' the only three serial numbers that appear are: • code '40' ('system board') • code '20' ('system unit') • code '08' ('CPU card', I'm told). For the T42 (and probably for other models also), when inserting the 14 digit system unit TypeModelSerialNumber into code 20, you must immediately precede the TypeModelSerialNumber with '1S', making it a 16 digit string.

For IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad laptop enthusiasts. Blog posts are encouraged. If your post does not appear in the queue, it's because of the stupid spam filter. Use the link to 'message the moderators' below to tell them. Tips: • When buying a used ThinkPad, remember to check that the BIOS is not locked with a supervisor's password and that Computrace is not enabled and activated. • When buying a new ThinkPad, consider taking the IPS screen option if possible, as it doesn't cost much.

Bought a used laptop that won't boot out of bios, when first booted up it shows serial number and UUID numbers, then I get a 2200 error no vaild serial numbers and 2201 UUID number in valid, and the bios then show no entry for these serial numbers (board machine type blank,system board blank,UUID number blank. Is computrace causing these issues? I was able to locate version 1.83 and I get EEPROM Check SUM Error when I try to read or Assign the UUID info and the Board and Type serial numbers. I'm thinking the Bios is locked in a secure mode with computrace, I sent them a email,lets see if they respond.

If I enter the whole thing HMD says the string is too long. The number is.

So I replaced the system board (it's a year out of warranty) and booted up, only to be met with an error code about a system serial number mismatch. Boots OK, but system update does not work (because of the serial number mismatch). The instructions for WHAT to do about this are in the online service manual. When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on the system board was loaded with the serial numbers of the system and all major components. These numbers need to remain the same throughout the life of the computer.
