HP M3035 INVAlid NVRAM

[tech07]

Gotta reach out to seasoned HP techs
Had a battery error on an M3035. Since it's soldered in, I ordered a new formatter board.
New board is giving a " INVALID NVRAM " error. Put the old board back in and it was ok. (except for the battery )
HP support says the new board is defective. Maybe, but is there something I should have done in addition ?
Would'nt a NVRAM initialization clear out everythjing ? SERIAL # page counts ?
What did I miss or should I get another new board ?
Thanks guys

where did you acquire the 'new' board?

why didn't you just buy a battery and de solder.. and install new battery and solder the new one in?

clearing the NVRAM will clear a lot of things than you really don't want to clear.

I get it.
I work for a large company. They do not recognize pcb component repair. If something on the board is bad, it gets a new board.
Not my call.
Also, I do not know where they order their parts.
Out of 35 years in this business, I've only just started touching HP.
My question still remains...Get another formatter or is there something I might be missing ??
Thanks
