2200 Machine Type And Serial Number Are Invalid Lenovo K5
2200 Machine Type And Serial Number Are Invalid Lenovo Ideapad. 7/16/2017 0 Comments For all I know, Uber’s food delivery service UberEats is a perfectly fine method of ordering food. But the stomach-turning product that a Canadian couple claims. Network Ham Radio in the Age of the Internet. Ham radio has been around for decades, but fans say.
SOLVED: My solution below.
Hi all. Purchased a T440p off ebay and I'm in love.
I have only one issue:
[beep, beep] 2200: Machine Type Invalid and Serial Number are invalid.
Problem: This is the first thing that pops up at boot. I've narrowed the solution down to getting i7tm38us.exe (https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/i7tm38us.exe), booting it on USB and editing my serial numbers (in Thinkpad Serial Number Update Utility for Asset ID). Unfortunately my T440p does not have a Lenovo sticker on the bottom with serial/model numbers.
Q: Is there a way for me to find the serial numbers on my hardware? Or extract it from my MOBO code? If so, how?
Scouring the net with hits on the Lenovo forums has people saying you need a maintenance staff member for help. It's got to be easier than that if I can input the numbers myself. The main error I believe is with the Machine Type Model
UEFI BIOS Version: GLET83WW (2.37 )
Embedded Controller Version: GLHT29WW (1.12 )
Serial Number Idm
Machine Type Model: ????
UEFI/LEgacy Boot: Both
UPDATE: FIXED. Solution below as I did it.
Downloaded i7tm38us.exe from Lenovo's site here: https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/i7tm38us.exe
Ran the installer to create a DOS bootable USB.
Booted from USB to the Thinkpad Maintenance Diskette program.
Selected '1. Set system identification'
You will come to the Thinkpad Serial Number Update Utility for Asset ID area.
Three options will be here to add, read and delete data to EEPROM. I selected '1 - Add S/N data to EEPROM'
It calls to Enter the Device Type Number. I updated the NEC model Serial Number, NEC Model Product Name and System-unit Serial Number (which gave me the 2200 Error at boot). I selected '20 or C0 - System-unit Serial Number'.
Instructions display on how to input the Product ID as follows: Product ID on rear label: TTTT-MMMMCC S/N SS-SSSSSS (Use this number when setting system identification). In the example, the Serial Number to be input is '1STTTTMMMMCCSSSSSSSS'. TTTT ... Machine Type. MMMM ... Model Type. CC ... Country Code. SSSSSSSS ... Serial Number.
I entered my Prodcut ID as requested (These numbers, TTTT-MMMMCC S/N SS-SSSSSS, were located behind my battery - thanks SmolN). You can find where your Lenovo Product ID is here: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/find-product-name
Rebooted and the 2200 notification is gone.
Hallelujah.
Hopefully this is helpful to those who have the same issue in the future.
Thank you all for the help!
