    I purchased a Lenovo L340-15IRH gaming laptop recently.

    Over time I was experiencing coil whine so I decided to replace the motherboard.
    The service replaced the motherboard but the coil whine didn't stop, but that's another story.

    The problem is that BIOS is showing me the invalid serial number, invalid product name and model number is also invalid.

    Is there any solution to this? I've read some possibilities with the amidedos.exe and other similar programs.

    I'm not so familiar with the BIOS and how to inscribe the numbers but I know some basics.

    Is anybody capable to help me out? I'd need step by step guide to the solution.

    Sorry if I missed the category for the topic.

    Hello;
    I have bought a motherboard on Aliexpress for my laptop model: 330s-15ikb, in the bios the MTM and Product Name are INVALID. I also cannot access the information of the original board because that board no longer turns on.
    I have tried to use the Lvar tool but I have not been successful, when I have written, using cmd window with administrator permissions, for example, the command:

    Code:
    LvarWin64v229.exe /w /pn /c "Ideapad 330S-15IKB"
    the command responds
    Code:
    Other error.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Is there any way I can fix the problem?

    Hi! You can use an SPI programmer like CH341A to transfer this data from your non-functioning board.
