2200 Machine Type And Serial Number Are Invalid Lenovo Computers

Posted on  by 

Does anybody know how to set the new Machine Type and Serial Number after a motherboard replacement for an H535? The motherboard recently failed on my H535 (outside of the Lenovo warranty but still under my credit card's extended warranty). After a great deal of frustration and time, I was finally able to obtain a replacement. I just replaced the motherboard on my W510 and now when it boots up I get the following errors: 2200: Machine Type Invalid and Serial Number are invalid.

M82 ThinkCentre - Type 3302. Model number: 3302F2U
This machine was originally purchased with the Windows 7 Pro operating system. I took advantage of the free Windows 10 upgrade when it was available over a year ago.
A few days ago I had to replace the motherboard. The computer is running fine. However, when it first boots there are 2 short beeps with an EEOC error. This error referenced the BIOS containing invalid Model Number and Serial Number. When I access the BIOS the following entries are seen:
1) Machine Type and Model INVALID
2) System Brand ID Lenovo Product
3) System Serial Number INVALID
4) Asset Tag
5) System UUID FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF
6) Ethernet MAC Address FC-4D-D4-DB-34-F7
7) BIOS Revision Level 9SKT75AUS
8) Boot Block Revision Level 9S75A
9) BIOS Date 09/17/2013

Lenovo Serial Number Invalid

Lenovo Invalid Machine Type


Computers I see references to using WinPhlash to manually update the needed settings. However, I'm unsure (because of my upgraded from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro) of which BIOS upgrade to use.
I'd like to get that info along with instructions of exactly 'how to' complete this process.
