Thanks. From the dmidecode I found the serial number to be 000000. I think it's not normal. And for the bios, I will check when I boot again.
I know lsusb and lspci. lsusb shows id when something is plugged in (but this doesn't work for me anymore ;-( because all the usb ports fried). I was trying to find as much as possible identification in order to know when the service will claim that motherboard was changed, that indeed it was changed. Thanks a lot.
