#1 Dell Inspiron 5748 how to change the model number in BIOS

Brand: Dell
Model: Inspiron 17 5748
Motherboard: Wistron Cedar_Intel-MB, Rev.: 13269-1 (A00)

Hello!

I reflashed the BIOS chip on mentioned laptop with the following dump:
www.elvikom.pl/bios-dell-inspiron-15-3542-166890-t42588.html#p159762

The laptop works after reflashing, but the "Product name" in the BIOS is wrong. It is shown as Inspiron 3542, it should be 5748.

Before reflashing the BIOS I edited the BIOS dump (corrected "Service tag" and transferred the Windows key, ME-region), but I don't know how to edit the model number.
On the following picture is the only part of the BIOS dumps where I found the model number:

I also tried to transfer the BIOS part on the image above from old to the new BIOS, but it does not change anything.

Any idea how to edit the model number (Product name)?
