Greetings All Experts;
Not sure where exactly to post this but my T61p finally bit the dust. As we all know the GPU thing. So I was looking around eBay and am noticing a lot of T500/W500 series with "No Asset ID/Information" when looking for model numbers from sellers showing the Setup Utility screen. Any cause for concern about these ? Did someone tamper with something ? I thought I read somewhere one can recover this info somehow. I'd rather know this though before making a decision on one. Thanks in advance to all who read this.
Admin note: Moved from T6x forum.
Sincerely,
Donald

That just means a user set asset tag number wasn't set by the previous owner(s). Nothing to be concerned about.
