![]() ![]() It is not intended for consumer use, but it is out there, and I was able to get it. It is intended for manufacturers to be able to change text strings stored in BIOS for things like the Manufacturer, Product Name, Version, Serial Number, UUID, SKU Number, Family, etc., which is what I needed to do. Well, my BIOS is by American Megatrends, and I discovered that they have a set of utilities that includes one called AMIDEDOS. However, upon every boot-up I am getting a POST error with two beeps that reads as follows: Error 00CE: Machine Type and Serial Number are INVALID Manufacturing Boot Sequence will be taken if no selection is made I presume the BIOS on the new motherboard needs to be programmed with the correct Machine Type and Serial Number from my computer. I have now installed the motherboard, and it is working. After a great deal of frustration and time, I was finally able to obtain a replacement motherboard from Lenovo. Does anybody know how to set the new Machine Type and Serial Number after a motherboard replacement for an H535? The motherboard recently failed on my H535 (outside of the Lenovo warranty but still under my credit card's extended warranty).
