Need for find the serial number for my ECS Z87H3-M for the rebate.

The only number I can locate on the front of the board has EA= in front of it.

But this number doesn't follow the serial number format they listed here which says it should be 1 letter, 5 numbers, 1 letter, 8 numbers

PC Wizard also shows all my serial numbers for the board as 00000000

Is it possible the serial number is located on the back of the board? (I would really hate to rip my entire system apart to find it) or should I just use the EA= number and hope for the best?

Not as far as I can see, the only thing I saw resembling an SN was the label on the front of the board which isn't anywhere near the same number.

Have to imagine that the number on the box is the SN and it's just one digit off of their formula for whatever reason. Considering the misinformation on their site about the location of the SN not surprising that there could be misinformation about the potential formula for the SN.

Anyway thanks a lot for the help, can't believe I even considered pulling out my mobo because the number on the box didn't fit their formula exactly.
