and I guess you have probably seen that one.try the posts there as there are OTHER. How were you running the utility that allows you to change what the BIOS displays? Rufus on a USB?

so the machine identifies itself as what the board actually is NOW- correct? Or, you need to reflash the BIOS > or want to. It may be that you chose to get a slightly different board, or it happened by accident and that is what I am thinking you are asking> how to get into the BIOS to manually enter some text. Reinstalling the HP OEM install.or simply replacing with the same exact board and just booting up with the same hard drive and coppy of Windows.I do this all the time. you must use a very close model of motherboard and it has to be identified with the Part Numbers taken right off the old, original board, to more or less give you a chance at I have done board replacements and with OEM laptops, if you are planning on keeping the OEM copy of Windows OR Reinstalling the original OEM (HP) operating system and related software. Next: What I am understanding now is a bit different than back at the beginning> you have replaced a motherboard but it does not allow access to the BIOS> is that right? Yes, I was using dv6-7000 (without a t) but I see there is not too much difference-anyway, let me change the picture so it does not confuse others. This link shows you how to open the back cover that will allow you to see the parts numbers on the RAM holders: often, the part number we need is on a label on the edge of the RAM module holders.and, sometimes it is as simple as removing a cover on the underside, or taking out some screws to loosen the keyboard, and the model and part number of motherboard might be in sight. You do not have to always pull a motherboard to identify it. In order to know what BIOS would work we would need the part number information off the board itself.

Is there any operating system installed on that system (the replaced board HP one) now?Ģ. IF you definitely DON'T see anything identifying the system of HP, then do this or tell me you don't want to, etc:ġ.

quickly hit the PAUSE/BREAK key which if done in time, will freeze the screen so you can grab a pen and record the part numbers. this is the easier way to identify the exact model you have however it may not be there I am just asking to verify it is or isn't. Are you seeing any text on a monitor or screen when you start up and press any key like the F2 or F1 or DEL key like you do to enter BIOS? Usually, at the FIRST text you see after the hp LOGO screen comes up at bootup contains ( in the TOP LEFT corner)) the system model number and we need to know what it says.
