It isn't a default serial number. The image was made by someone pulling it from their Mini. They removed the serial number as it was the one for their device.

I am curious how the default serial will play out, I'm going to try a factory rest to work with it - I can't believe I hadn't thought of trying the blank img, for some reason I was thinking I had to get the serial matching the unit in there...
The serial number isn't used for much and I haven't heard of anyone having problems with it set to all zeroes.

Thanks for the help there, I'll work around a factory reset through menu now
Much easier than the tapping. Any time I've tried it took me at least three tries to get it right.
