Hi,

My understanding of this issue is that the newer revision means a newer BIOS. The properties of the board do not change as a rule, so IMHO you could change the BIOS out from the board that died (unless it was the Bios that died) and it should work.

However, if it were mine, I would put the old board in just as it is, take it for a test drive and see how it functions. Then, if it needs to have the BIOS updated, then flash it to a newer version. If it does not perform to what you want it to do, then try the other bios from your old board that died. I just never change or fix anything that does not need fixed, so that is why I would follow this process.

That is my two cents worth.
