After sending in my a30p for a motherboard replacement last year, IBM repair returned it to me twice with the serial number/model number in BIOS incorrect.
I didnt bother sending it in a 3rd time since I needed my laptop.
Does anyone know how to fix it so Lenovo site will recognize the model for software down loads?
thanks
a30p wrong model number/serial number

call tech support..
they will either give you a way to go into the bios and make that change or there is a CE diskette that has a utility to change the model # and s/n on the system board..
they might not want to give you the CE diskette..
hard to say..
