What happens if I flash an EFI chip with a serial number that's not the original? My issue is, I needed to replace the EFI chip, but the serial number on the chip didn't match whats on the bottom cover. The customer said he had the bottom cover replaced, hence the difference in serial number.
Well, when i flash the chip with the serial number from the original chip, the comp. never boots, (i do have all voltages present and cpu warm). When i flashed the chip with the serial number on the bottom cover, i'm able to boot the laptop successfully and log into it.
