After changing HP G60 Notebook motherboard and HDD, I couldn’t even go to BIOS setup screen.
When I turn on power, only “serial not found” message showed.
I tried to go to BIOS, I couldn’t go to BIOS setup.
F9 and F10 key didn’t work.
Can I put serial number on the notebook?
Please help me out to solve this problem..
Thank you.

You have not answered most of my questions !
“Also I change hdd, but not the same as I used, I just changed with one that I had before.”
Does that hard drive have an existing software installation on it ?
If it DOES, the computer will probably NOT be able to fully load an existing operating system installation unless the hardware that was on the mboard when the operating system was installed is NOT more than a little different from the hardware on your present mboard.
If it was a used mboard, did it say in it’s description the mboard you bought been TESTED and had been found to WORK ?
If pressing the F1 and F2 keys works, then pressing the F9 and F10 keys should work too, unless there’s something wrong with the mboard or the built in keyboard.
The ability to respond to pressing those keys is built into the bios version.
Malfunctioning keys on built in keyboards on laptops or netbooks are very common. Try connecting a corded USB keyboard, then trying pressing F9 and F10.
……..
Going by the vague info I’ve found so far regarding “serial not found” , you can get that message because of a hardware or a software problem.
Try removing the hard drive to see if your symptoms are any different.
If they aren’t, you probably have a hardware problem. Make sure all connectors connected to the mboard, all cards plugged into it, are properly plugged in and fully seated, and that any cables are not physically damaged.
