Replaced the system board on this laptop (would not power on). System powers on but I am getting two error codes when it first boots:
System is booting in manufacturer program mode...:32
Your system is not fully configured. Please contact HP customer support.
When I work with Lenovos I usually use a maintenance disk to update the Serial and UUID. I have updated the serial information in the HP, but I am unsure what else is required, nor do I know what the manufacturer program mode.
Any information would be of great help.

You can unlock/lock the Manufacturing Programming Mode with the Bios Config Utility (BCU) that you can get from here:

You can find instructions with Google, e.g. this video:

Just to help people out and not have them watch a 10 minute video for one simple command line, install the HP BIOS config utility, navigate to the install folder via command prompt, run this:
BiosConfigUtility64.exe /setvalue:"Manufacturing Programming Mode","Lock" /verbose.
If you had a password set (you'll probably not have done this yet, I had a password file already matching my password):
BiosConfigUtility64.exe /setvalue:"Manufacturing Programming Mode","Lock" /cspwdfile:"bpass.bin" /verbose
You don't have to use the 64 bit version, I just do since I build stuff out for different systems to only fit that one system.
