For lack of where else to ask this...
i replaced the bios chip on my mothers' HP probook 450 G4.
The laptop boots into win10 no problem & nothing appears amiss.
However, it takes a while 15s for the HP logo to appear on bootup & i notice that the caps key LED blinks 5 times.
i also noticed in the bios screen that the serial number & product ID are different (not 0xFFs or blank but actual values) to the values on the laptop case.
My questions are:
1. Will the fact that the serial# & product ID are not the original cause the slow post?
2. How do i change them if they are the cause?
I do have NbDmiFit-2.13 but but i cant unlock the ME because there's no point in changing FSMC.bin to SMC.bin as the UUID is not 0xFFs nor is the serial# blank or 0xFFs (and i'm not even sure if the Wndmifit64.exe is in that release is the right one for this laptop.)
thanks in advance.
