Hello ... I have dv6-7202se ...
when i Start it it shows this message :
manufacturing programming mode is in unlock mode
and there is no serial or product mode
I've tryed too many tools like dmiFit , bios configuration utility and HPBQ138 and didn't work
maybe because the bios is UEFI it has another new tool ... what should I do ?

Hi @omarSal,
Thanks for the post,
I see you are getting an error on startup "manufacturing programming mode is in unlock mode". I would like to help.
Was there any hardware service or part replaced on the computer.
Are you able to boot to BIOS by tapping F10 on startup?
Did you run any diagnostics on the computer?
You can download the latest version of BIOS from our website www.hp.com/drivers and install it on the computer using a USB drive.
Refer, this post on our forums for assistance.
You can also contact our phone support and provide the CT number of the notebook printed on the bottom of the computer for assistance.
If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the "Accepted Solution" and "Kudos" buttons, that’ll help us and others see that we’ve got the answers!

@Chimney_83 ... thank you for responding :

Thanks for the reply, the error you are getting usually occurs when you replace the motherboard. Were you able to try the steps suggested in the older forum post?
Download the BIOS and trying to install it using a USB memory stick. Refer, Recovering the notebook BIOS using an external storage device
Even after installing the BIOS using a USB stick, you will need to take the computer to a service center for tattooing the BIOS, please contact our phone support for the service options.
Let me know if this helped,
