    MGADiag Tool report attached - genuine or not? And then what?


    I have run a precautionary MGADiag report, before I go ahead and attempt a clean reinstall of Win 7 Ultimate x64 on my Acer E1-571 laptop, since I found the product id and key for the current installation advertised on a number of websites.

    The laptop, bought in Asia, came with no disk, and the hidden recovery partition is missing (possibly I deleted it, possibly it was never there)

    The full story in my initial post here:
    Acer laptop Win 7 Ultimate x64 OEM, how to clean install without disk?

    Torchwood recommended getting the activation checked before I attempt a reinstallation, so here I am, on tenterhooks...

    It's likely genuine. The original factory Windows 7 OEM-SLP install activates against a SLIC table in the BIOS. That will only work if you install with the matching factory install media. Those OEM_SLP keys are blocked from online activation. They are also listed on web sites so you'll get hits if you Google them. The original factory OEM-SLP key will not activate online. You need the key on the COA sticker if your using standard install media. Remove the battery and have a look in the battery compartment. They sometimes hide it in there so it doesn't get damaged and unreadable.

    It's likely genuine? JC that's made my day!

    I will still need to pay for factory install media from Acer and installing from a downloaded ISO won't work, right, because the keys would be different. Unless I could change the key on the SLIC table, mwahahahaha, just kidding

    Hmmm, well, maybe things could have been worse, like my bios could have corrupted or the whole thing could have blown up. And it's only £50 pounds (£50 pounds?! I could eat for a week off that!) Expensive mistake, that's the last time I go and delete the hidden partition, if that's what I did.

    I'm no expert at reading MGAdiag reports but it looks good to me. it says Description: Windows Operating System - Windows(R) 7, OEM_SLP channel and OEMID and OEMTableID Consistent: yes. Hopefully somebody else in the know can confirm it.

    Dame, now that you mention it, there is one HP entry in the SLIC? Somebody flashed it with a modified BIOS maybe? If true I'm thinking the Acer media won't work, the certificate file and SLIC table won't match?

    When I saw the OEM_SLP channel and OEMID and OEMTableID Consistent, I admit, I was hopeful, but I was just thinking, even if it's an HP code and the installation would be classed as counterfeit, I can just go ahead and order the factory install media from Acer, right, and the key on the install media will match the key on the SLIC table, unless.....the HP code you refer to Roy, is in the SLIC table and then wouldn't match the key on the install media? This is what I was afraid of, paying for the recovery media and finding out it doesn't work, and having to buy yet another license, either OEM as advertised on Amazon or full retail. If that's the case, I should cut my losses and head straight to Amazon/elsewhere. Will showkey or something shed any further light on this?

    Damn, what a saga. Talking of flashed BIOS, they could have flashed it with anything right, what a mess. I will eventually be able to update the BIOS with the proper Acer driver, and rule out any other nefarious writes, including malware, to the bios, right? What a can of worms, but thanks guys, better to know, than not to.

    So this HP reference indicating a flashed bios, does this mean that whoever did it (the store I bought it from, or their suppliers) had access to HP install media as well as SLIC codes (which normally only the HP factory should have) and managed to install it as if it were an HP laptop and not an Acer? Is this why I get the Acer logo AND the HP logo when they boot up? Just kidding, and this is no laughing matter, cos it's my can o' worms here.

    So, how about if I reflash the BIOS (don't know how I will do that) with Acer SLIC key which will match the key on the install media they will send me....I could even explain the whole situation and hope they don't turn around and say, in that case, they can't help me at all, and I have to buy a full retail copy.

    The Vista license from my dads old Toshiba is still in the back of my mind as a potential fall back option.

    That's an old trick. You take a stock BIOS and modify it. It's not easy and not without risk. From what I've read anyway. I've done some research on it in the past, but not for the reasons some would think. I get systems I have to deal with that I suspect are pirated and I have to try and make legal again. Microsoft doesn't give out very much info on how activation works, for very good reasons. So in order to figure out what's up you have to research how it was cheated in the first place and undo it. Not a whole lot of fun. You also have to be very careful what you say on reputable forums like here so as not to get in hot water. Yes, flashing with the latest official BIOS for that laptop will undo it. It may also restore the official Windows 7 SLIC table. If so the recovery media they want you to buy will then work.

    Unfortunately there are web sites out there that are almost totally devoted to this type of cheat. The tools and files are there to do this stuff. It amazes me that they aren't taken down. I guess its what country hosts them?
