Default M2N32 BIOS Revision and Motherboard Revision?

I'm doing an RMA for my mobo (M2N32-SLI Premium) as it is faulty and I cannot use it, but I've been prompted for the Motherboard BIOS Revision and Motherboard Revision on the form and I can't find it anywhere on the packaging of the motherboard or in the manual. Please help!

The motherboard revision should be stamped somewhere on the board itself, usually in the PCI area. I have no idea how you would get the BIOS revision without looking at the BIOS itself.

In size 0.5 font, I see that it says 'REV 1.00G' on the PCI area which is probably the motherboard revision am I correct? I don't think it is possible to get the BIOS revision unless someone else out there owns one and I ask them.

I think they're just showing you different ways of getting the MOBO model number. That "REV 1.00G" sounds like the revision, but the BIOS version can only be obtained by looking into the BIOS screen; if you can't get the BIOS version just put a big "N/A" and explain that the board won't even boot.

That's exactly what I did. Now to wait until the Public Holidays end for ASUS to finally get back to work and hopefully look at my inquiry!

thx for your help!
