Hp Code Purple Lawsuit

How To Get Rid Of Code Purple
always thought highly of and frequently recommend to my clients. A customer brought in a HP Pavilion desktop (p6110y w/Vista) with a dead motherboard. They had purchased a new laptop http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-and-Recovery/Code-Purple-Error-Help/td-p/359373 and we grabbed the data off the old computer. But they still wanted the desktop operational and wiped clean, so we ordered a refurbished motherboard for it, installed it, and ran the factory install from the recovery partition on the HD. When it finished, the system rebooted and I saw this: Puzzled, I tried the recovery reinstall again. Same https://fixedit.itxpress.biz/2013/10/30/hps-code-purple-configuration-error/ result. Before I was sitting in a call queue to HP, I did a little research, and found that HP was not playing fair… My first find was this thread about someone trying to replace the motherboard on their HP. While the original poster had apparently used a non HP motherboard replacement, other people posting had used HP motherboards and one even had *HP* repair the computer (presumably using HP parts) and they encountered the error. That person was told to ship the system back due to a ‘firmware' issue. Riiiiight. My next find had similar advice, always use an HP motherboard (which I had done - it was an exact HP part number match to the failed one!). If you got this error - use a retail DVD to install Windows and no problem - but that's such a hassle compared to a recovery partition install. Then someone said something about a ‘check' directory and if you removed that, the problem went away. Hmmm. Finally I found the true answer here. On an HP forum, someone
and let the recovery format and reinstall Windows Vista.Once it was complete I rebooted the computer to finish the installation. Instead of continuing, HP popped a nasty message:Your system http://computerhelp.planethernando.com/compaqhp-code-purple-error-solved/ has detected a configuration error. Please report this error to Customer Care using https://forums.techguy.org/threads/code-purple-configuration-error-hp-compaq.469752/ the phone number found in the Warranty and Support Guide that came with your PC. Unless corrected, this error will prevent your PC from operating properly. Turn off your PC by pressing and holding the Power button. After a few seconds your PC will automatically turn off. (Code Purple)If you call code purple HP they will tell you to buy a new recovery disk and chase your tail for a few weeks. All of this can be easily fixed. There are a couple of ways to go about fixing the HP Code Purple error. Using the Linux Live CD or you will need to pulling the hard drive.The Linux Live CD Code Purple Error FixThis is the system configuration error easiest option, but you will need to know a little bit about Linux. If you fix your own computer then it would be well worth the efforts to give Linux a shot. Boot up of the CD or USB drive. Once you have your computer booted up from the CD or USB mount COMPAQ or HP drive.The pull the hard drive Code Purple Error FixThis will require a second fully functional computer (I'll call it comp2) that you can add a second drive. Install the HP drive in the second hard drive position in to comp2. Boot up comp2 and you should see your HP drive as a spare drive.The Compaq/HP Code Purple FixOnce you can see your HP drive, navigate to the HP folder \hp\bin\CHECKdmi\ then edit the checkdmi.cmd file.

When the computer would try to boot up to Windows an error message would appear stating that there was a configuration error and to contact the manufacturer. Then in paranthesis (Code Purple). I did a search for Code Purple on the internet and got a number of hits, but only one seemed to have any suggestions for a solution. This is what I found out and this is what I did (Some of these I copied and pasted from this blog - but just changed them to indicate specifically what I did I don't want to take credit for their great suggestions - the blog is at: http://www.billoblog.com/billoblog/?p=152#comments ) Code Purple indicates that there was a booby trap placed in HP and Compaq computers in which a tattoo or numerical signature of the motherboard and hardware configuration is created at the factory and encoded into the restore disks on a particular computer. When you re-install your system, it checks to make sure the system h I removed the hard drive from my Pavilion and put it in the other system. I then looked for the file that was doing the anti-piracy check. I found it at: I removed the hard drive from their Pavilion and put it in the other system. The writer of the blog had found the file that was doing the anti-piracy check at: C:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck\cfgchk.bat The cfgchk.bat file contains the following: c:\hp\bin\hpdmi r > dmiout.txt python c:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck\run.py del dmiout.txt cd .. rd /s /q c:\hp\bin\ConfigCheck The invocation of run.py is the actual check. The way the anti-piracy mechanism seems to work is to loop in the check if the comparison between the motherboard BIOS string (returned by hpdmi.exe) and the expected value fails. By looping in the error message, the check effectively puts the brakes on Syscheck, so the final configuration of XP never completes and you dont get to a functional Windows desktop. Since the loop is in run.py, you can bypass
