    My laptop was sent out for repair and when it is back today, the mainboard is changed.
    However, now I cannot installed the downloaded software because the machine name in bios and in DMI is changed to Sony 80KE67107313 instead of VGN-SZ160P).
    Also I cannot perform a system recovery, it says the model is not right ,confirm the model.
    How can I rewrite back the DMI information?
    DMICFG, DMIFLASH,DMISCOPE,DMI236 are all not working.
    Maybe sony's mainboard is the same special as Asus's and need some special software?

    Help!!
