Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP 255 G5 laptop that has been sitting on the shelf for awhile after one of our employees left the company. Every time I turn it on, I get the following information on the screen.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Information not valid

 

The following product information programmed into the system board is missing or invalid

 

System Board (00A) - Product Name
System Board (00A) - Product Serial Number
System Board (00A) - Product Number
System Board (00A) - System Board CT Number

 

ENTER - Continue Startup

Pressing enter boots up the laptop into Windows 10 just fine. Nothing has been replaced in the laptop so I don't understand why I'm getting this error. This is a 2017 laptop so it's well out of warranty. I've seen other posts talking about HP DMI Toolkit but I could not find the right version for this laptop. Are there any other options or should I just recycle the unit? Seems a shame to get rid of it since it still boots up if you hit enter. Thanks!
