Great idea, unfortunately it did not work any better (Intermittent, works until it fails and then it won't work again).
There are 2 groups on the back of my Dell's. The one alongside the LAN jack is the BIOS (main).
BTW It seems to be a Windows XP (pro) problem on this machine. Dual boot to Ubuntu and the front works solid, so the HW is fine.
I tried the Sequence of plugging the CPU end in first with no better results.
