Hi:

I have attached it below but you will need to know how to make a bootable usb flash drive and load the applicable dos commands on it as well as the attached utility so you can run it.

Once in the DOS environment, type: “HPBQ138.exe” without the quotes. This
  should start the DMIFIT utility.

  Follow the guide below to update system board information:

    (0) Serial Number = S/N on back of laptop
    (1) Notebook Model = model number of back of laptop
    (2) GUID Number = random
    (3) UUID Number = Select 1 to generate UUID
    (4) SKU Number = Product Number (e.g. WA985UA#ABA)
    (5) CTO Localization Code = Last 3 letters (e.g. ABA)
    (6) MAC Address = Random
    (7) PCID = Sticker/ printed on back, under battery or on MOBO. 
    like this: “PCID: 1234567…”)
    (8) System Board CT # = blank

  Save the information and reboot.

Sorry that one didn't work for you.

That is the only one I know of.

Seems to me that you will have to take the notebook in to an authorized HP service center near where you live, and have someone there tattoo the BIOS with the required info for you.

If you ever get your hands on one that works for your model, please let us know where to get it.
