[Thinkpad] A20M New system board

[Colgrove, George]

Your S/N and System model and type should be under the machine case.
IBM/Lenovo has software that can program this back into your machine.

That was done for warranty purposes. It will work fine with the old
numbers
or no numbers

> Through a series of misadventures, the polarity was reversed to my
A20M,
and subsequently it no longer functions.(Works off of the battery, but
not
external power) I have determined that I need to replace the system
board,
which should not be a problem. In my research into this,tho', I have
come
across references to the UUID or recording S/N's to the EEPROM on the
new
board. Is this mandatory, and if so, am I SOL because I cannot access
the
SN's from the old system board?

screws
in the assembly.?
