    Hi everybody.
    Well, it looks like I toasted my motherboard on this unit with a failed BIOS upgrade.

    I would like to replace the motherboard with a different one, but cannot find the serial number for this motherboard.

    1. Does anyone know where I can find the part number for this motherboard? It doesn't seem to be mentioned on any of the websites selling motherboards.

    2. Or, can I just put "any" P100 motherboard in? I've read notes mentioning that motherboard replacements are very model specific. Is that true?


    Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, tried flashing the bios using USB floppy. Can't get any power/movement of the floppy drive despite trying all of the USB ports.

    I've pretty much given up on that....unless you have any suggestions. + since the bios isn't removable, reprogramming it after removal isn't an option.
