Hi,

I don't know exactly anymore. Older boards for sure... Probably P2B-DS but I
could be very wrong.

No, just the keyboard controller died, but that makes to whole board useless
since you can't reach the BIOS anymore, etc..

We hotplugged a lot until the boards started breaking. We also had a
keyboard-connector with a broken connection once, so it's not only
electrical risk... After that, we didn't dare to take the risk anymore.
