    Please HELP! Thinkcentre S51

    After a lot tries, I "successfully" updated a bios with original IBM windows update tool on a Thinkcentre S51 because the BIOS language was French.
    But since then I got the following error message after switching on the machine:
    "ERROR 00CE Machine Type and Serial Number are INVALID!"

    I tried to repair (write back original SN and TN) it with the same windows tool but I got the following error message:
    "Bios update failed! There is no CPU match"

    If I try to reboot from original bios update iso (phlash16), I got the following error message during update procedure:
    System Bios BBID is different with image file BBID!

    As I can see the problem is that UUID, Serial Number and Machine Type had been cleared when I changed the language back to english.

    Thanks in advance...
