    Thanks for your patience. It should have booted with the correct VPD now please confirm it to me :)

I'm not a super expert on the issue but I have the same unit.

Did you try doing a factory reset or chosing a "reinstall OS" on the boot options - assuming it gets to that stage?

You can try Reinstall OS first (if you have data that you want to keep) and then factory reset (that will wipe your data). Disclaimer: you may end up losing data anyway.

 

I upgraded the RAM and CPU years ago and don't remember having issues but at that time I was using a single HDD for testing and did not have any problems if a reset was needed.

 

The corrupted model number rings a bell though. Keep us posted.
