    I just had Dell replace my mother board it was shorted,as soon as you plug in ac and hit power it popped blue light,and no power.Today dell's 3rd party tech came with new board and ac adapter,replaced without issue except he didnt use thermal grease,I'll repaste myself anyway.But question is the new board came up may 2010 in bios and rev a3,I was on rev5 and I'm curious if you guy's think that's normal and should I stay on bios 3 or 5?I've seen conflicting statements about bios on NBR,Thanks all.And so far all is working well,but it's only a couple hours.
