I do tech support and came across this same issue. I tried everyones'
posts to try and resolve the issue with no success... What I did find is that when I took another "like" computer and swapped the hard drives they both booted up PERFECTLY but when I swapped the hard drives back the one computer still had the manufacturing mode error. Very strange. It doesn't seem like there is any issue with the mother board or the hard drive...more so the combo of the two together. Kind of an odd finding and probably not exactly helpful to those users that don't have extra computers or hard drives to swap out. |
