I ran across this as well and I figured my P2B-F was affected like
there other P2B's. Ran a search on deja and found tons of articles
complaining about it. You apparently gotta short around a resistor on
the mobo. I'm not sure if I'm gonna try it or not (I can solder, I'm
just not good at it :). I might try it because I'm probably gonna be
too impatient to send in the board for a fix and I'll end up buying a
new mobo _again_.

I truly didn't. I might try this hardware hack with the resistor and
see how it goes. Thanks a lot for your very informative response!
