You will then store the electronic serial number in the EEPROM on the new motherboard using the Service Utility floppy disk. Download the notebook service package from the Partnership Web site (see page vii), and create a Service Utilities floppy disk as described in the package's Readme file. When the SONY logo appears (on either the built-in display or the external monitor), press Esc to display the boot menu, then choose Removable Device and boot from the floppy disk.

(These requests might require a court order prior to our participation. ) Further, the entity removing the password must log the name, serial number and date of the removal, and file the written backup with the log. The log and backup are subject to standard record retention process and review. The final issue relating to removal of passwords is that SONY cannot provide information to users that would assist them in improperly removing a password and opening a notebook.
