Heya iknow this post is a lot of years past the time you posted this but im hoping beyond hope that your still part of this forum.On the first screen you will see upon bootup there will be a string of numbers on the bottom left of the page.
Something like
2A59L-XXXX-XXX
Or
51-1506-XXXX-XXXX
Or
12/09/1999 i440LX
Write down these numbers exactly as you see them and post them here..
I suppose I should have asked if this is a running machine we're talking about here.
