Product: Probook 430 G4
OS: Windows 10 (x64)
After an external BIOS programming for my laptop, I had to rewrite the serial number, product number, description and so on. The computer accepted all of the new details except Feature Byte, giving the error "Invalid Feature Byte - CRC Fail".
I tried using partsurfer.hp.com to get the feature byte back, but sadly it did not work.
My current feature byte acquired from partsurfer: 3X476J6S6Z6b7J7M7Q7W7m7saBaQapaqauawbhdU
Any help would be appreciated!
