is there any 1 who can actually give ma an answer insted of asking me irrelevant questions its not stolen i just dont like serials and stuff the warranty is finished and i like things the way i want them not the way they came 2 me anyways can some1 plz give me an answer or point me in the right direction
1. extract the bios from the chip and save it as a file
2. learn assembler (<- the hard part)
3. decompress and disassemble the bios (IDA will help you)
4. locate the serial number
5. change it (<- that's the easy part)
6. come up with an algorithm that calculates the correct bios checksum
7. recompress and reassemble the bios
there might be tools at Compaq development dep. that could do all this (even with a nice GUI maybe). but i doubt that anyone would give it away or even admit that such tools exist.
