HP Laptop/Desktop motherboard programing (after replacement)

If you recently replaced a HP motherboard, whilst the new motherboard worked correctly, every time the machine was started an
error would appear during POST, and it could not be removed by clearing the CMOS or updating the BIOS. The error stated:

System Board OOA Product Information Not Valid

Product Name
Configuration
Serial number
Product Number
For help go to HP.com/go/techcenter/startup

To resolve the issue, do the folowing:

PART 1: Create a bootable USB memory stick.

1.Download Rufus 2.3 from http://rufus.akeo.ie/.

2.Insert a USB memory stick (make sure it does not contain required data as it will be cleared) and run Rufus.
3.Make sure the correct memory stick is selected under the Device heading
4.Make sure Quick Format and Create a bootable disk using: are ticked and select MS-DOS from the drop down menu to the right.
5.Click on Start, acknowledge the warning and click on OK.
6.Close Rufus by clicking the cross in the top right corner of the window.

PART 2: Download and extract the utility for reprogramming the system information in HP laptops.

1.Download the file NbDmiFit_207.7z

2.Extract the file using 7zip. If this software is not yet installed it can be downloaded from http://www.7-zip.org/. To extract the file,
right click on NbDmiFit_207.7z and then click on Extract to \NbDmiFit_207

3.Double click on the NbDmiFit_207 folder and if necessary double click on it again. A list of files and folders should appear.

PART 3: Copy the files to the memory stick

1.Use the CTRL + A key combination to highlight all the files in the NbDmiFit-2.07 folder.

2.Right click on any of the files, point to Send To and click on the icon for the memory stick (in my case this was drive G).

3.Remove the memory stick and shut down the HP laptop if it is currently running.

PART 4: Update the information on the laptop and clear the error.

1.Remove the battery from the laptop and record all the information to be found. This includes all product names, numbers and
other codes. These will be required when updating the information using the utility on the memory stick.

2.Reinsert the battery and insert the memory stick into the laptop before switching it on.

3.A black DOS screen should appear. If Windows starts the load as normal, the boot order needs to be changed to allow the laptop
to start from the memory stick. At startup , press F9, and select USB device as boot

4.Once at the DOS prompt, type in nbdmifit.bat and press enter.

5.Fill in all the information as prompted.

Basic Menu
Serial Number = Obviosly your S/N on the back of your laptop
Notebook Model= Mine was Compaq Presario Cq61 NoteBook PC…….Don’t think this really matters
Guid Number= random
UUID Number= Select 1 to generate UUID
SKU Number= It’s the Product Number on the bottom Mine was WA985UA#ABA
CTO Localization Code = ABA
MAC Address = Again Random….you can judge or use and get past hitting Enter everytime!
PCID = Ok under the battery cover there is a Sticker….it might also be on the Motherboard.
System Board CT # = it’s a sticker on the motherboard if you want to fill it in.

After saving and rebooting, the error should now be cleared.

Extra notes:

If you are programing a 2012 or later model, you should use wndmifit utility (from the flash drive that you created)

If you are getting MDM (manufacture programing mode) locked, the do the folowing:

1. Shut down notebook

2. Press WIN+UP+DOWN and the power button, HOLDING IT FOR at least 2 seconds

3. When the laptop starts, you should see a message with red color , that you are in programin g mode.

4. Use wndmifit utility from your operating system (Windows) to program the motherboard
