Latitude D600 Service Tag writing utility?
I've just swapped the motherboard on my Latitude D600 (took 3-5 days
less than Dell's depot 8*), but they didn't send me the disk to write the Service Tag into the board. The service manual says: /* NOTE: After replacing the system board, enter the computer Service Tag sequence into the BIOS of the replacement system board. 3. Insert the floppy disk or CD that accompanied the replacement system board into the appropriate drive. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen. */ Unfortunately, it didn't come with such a thing, and I can't set a BIOS admin or user password on a system without an ESC. I'm on hold awaiting Dell's tech support, but if anyone knows where I can get such a thing online, I could shave another couple of days off this process... Thanks!
