Learn how to find out your motherboard’s manufacturer and model, required information if you want to download a new BIOS, drivers, and manual for it. Deciphering the BIOS Serial Number. Painlessly, we can deduce two things: the BIOS date (BIOS version) is, and the motherboard uses VIA chipset VT8366 and VT8233/5, widely known as VIA KT333. There are three major BIOS software manufacturers, AMI, Award and Phoenix (Phoenix has recently bought Award).
Msi Motherboard Serial Number Location
Need for find the serial number for my ECS Z87H3-M for the rebate.

The only number I can locate on the front of the board has EA= in front of it.

But this number doesn't follow the serial number format they listed here which says it should be 1 letter, 5 numbers, 1 letter, 8 numbers

PC Wizard also shows all my serial numbers for the board as 00000000
Is it possible the serial number is located on the back of the board? (I would really hate to rip my entire system apart to find it) or should I just use the EA= number and hope for the best?
