    Yeah, that's what it is. Along with a later version of EE-CPB.exe, the SVCTAG.EX software is also a later version, plus 2 additional files SERTAG.EXE and STAG.EXE, and the .inf file has additional motherboard support identifiers. The one I have now still has the EE-CPB 5.1, but SVCTAG.EXE is now 3.4 and the .inf file has a couple more late M'boards added. I can not send it through this forum, but I am sending you my email by private message and will do so there.

    ServiceTag.EXE

    I answered your PM. That Dell D/L is for a Dimension 4500: it does not work with laptops as the board identifiers are not in the .inf file. The one I have is for laptops only and has worked with very late model laptops

    Sorry to pull up an old thread. Thanks Paragon33! I shot you another PM - hope you don't mind me bugging you. I can't find this ANYWHERE! Found all sorts of other cool utilities along the way - so not all is lost yet.

    Also Book'd your website on the p/w recovery - great info!

    Can you please email it to me?
    I can't seem to download it from the hosted sites from long ago as they are expired.
    I would forever be thankful to you.

    No way for free; this model will still respond to the shorting technique, but I have had no feedback on the eeprom chip location. It would require opening the laptop.There is a dude listing on Ebay to supply you with a Master Password for $100USD,
