How to program System Configuration ID to bios???

[REO51ST]

Good day to all.

Yes I can not figure out how to do this.

Programed the P/N, S/N and the UUID.

Need a little help with the System Configuration ID.

Hi Reo,

I think you need the PCID - this will hopefully be under the battery ( sometimes it on the system board ).  It should start pcid followed by a string of numbers.

Best regards,

Thanks David.

On this model it must be located some where on the motherboard.

To bypass this and stop the error I just entered 25 "0" zeros.

Worked just fine.

Thanks again.

Hi Reo,

You're welcome and very useful to know that the field can just be filled with zeros

All the best,

1234567890ABCDEF worked.

Any HEX combonation will work.

sorry to bring this thread back to life, bujt im having same issue. (probook 4530s)

after replacing lcd panel i got same error, used tool to reprogram p/n s/n and ct number, still when it asks configID dont know what to do, If i enter nothing it gives default Config id  A0001C02, that was before there also.

even with 3/4 right problem is resolved but dont want any other problems in the future, also it wont boot into bios always with F10 maybe 1/5 time, always system diagnostics screen coming with memory test harddisk test etc. tried flashing f50 bios again but no help.

i guess has someting to do with invalid ConfigID
