firmware after replacement of certain modules. It is important that the BeoMaster
5 ServiceTool (placed on a USB pen drive) always is updated to the latest version.

The BeoMaster 5 ServiceTool is also used to restore the serial number in the
following modules, if they are replaced:
- PCB01, Mainboard (BeoSound 5).
- PCB01, Motherboard (BeoMaster 5).
If it is not possible ‘restore’ the serial number from the one of the modules, e.g. if
