I've done my share of posting and ranting about my XPS 2710 on here.
Just an FYI as maybe I can help someone else who has a broken XPS 2710 from either upgrading to Windows 10 or with another issue like a corrupted bios/eeprom (my issue).
I was searching for replacement parts and came across a company who had an eBay ad saying they can fix the XPS 2710 issues that we're experiencing.
For $100 at this point I figured I'd take the chance. If he said he couldn't fix it there would be no charge.
A few days later I got the motherboard back. And sure enough...it worked!
My XPS 2710 is back in action!
