EEPROM utilities (also called DMI or Tattoo utilities) are used in service to program product
information and set configuration options on the replacement motherboard.
It is crucial for system functionality that these options are configured correctly and match
the factory settings of customer’s original motherboard. If the configuration is incorrect the
system may not successfully be able to reload an image and/or the customer may not have
the same functions/features/applications as before motherboard replacement. Incorrect
product information and settings may also affect customer’s ability to recover their system
using the customer created recovery media or their option to be automatically guided
through the hp.com web site to get appropriate support documentations/solutions
This combined EEPROM tool is compatible with all new projects released in 2c08 and
onwards, but is not backwards compatible with previous product releases (they will still
need to be programmed using the older individual EEPROM tools).
Updated EEPROM utilities release each cycle to include new product releases and/or new
product features needing EEPROM configuration. Repair partners should check their
sources for updated tools at least every cycle.
These utilities are the proprietary information of the Hewlett-Packard Company (HP) and its
suppliers. Use of these utilities are subject to HP’s standard confidential disclosure
agreement and should be treated as “HP Confidential’.
Refer to the HP Notebook DMI Utility Process Overview document for a list of the
applicable HP Consumer Notebook model series cover under this process.
The HP DMI utility files and the batch file covered under this process are contained in the
HP V10B DMI Utility zip file.

Hi,

This did not have the utilities for my 8510p. I eventually tracked them down and put them here....

Maybe you can do a eeprom compare like in this thread

http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showthread.php?t=11470

the OS SKU is 0 for XP, 1 for Vista, 2 for Windows 7

But as to the 'edition' in the EEPROM I am not sure what difference is there.
And also the 'features' or product configuration ID (PCID) I am not understanding yet.

ie:

FeatureByte: This defines the hardware and software components. Enter the entire FeatureByte case-sensitive string, including the final characters after the period, as in ".dB" in the middle label below. However, you do NOT need to enter the spaces in between the sets of characters. They are disregarded. Example: Onx111400.3w3j322u333b3m383c2n2S2P2z3g2U.dB
