Yeah you are probably right. Found on Ebay for $8. BTW, I installed Mac OSX Sierra on it and it is amazing! Everything works except the wifi which can be purchased for $10 (USB Wifi Dongle). Using...

Ooo. Yeah. Youre probably right. Should be too difficult of a fix, id just make sure you either have good electrical tape or heat shrink to insulate the battery and secure your soldering when youre...

No no I know it is plugged to the motherboard. I was asking if I should remove/desolder the battery from its case (I assume the battery is soldered) and just put a new battery instead. I think I have...

I dont think theres any soliding involved. I think on the bottom of the mobo theres a cmos battery thats wired out to a plug. You can order the full assembly off amazon or ebay for ~10 dollars

No, but I will. I wonder if desoldering the battery and soldering a new one would solve the problem OR maybe the cable has a problem and needs to be replaced completely.

Hmmm now I am worried:( Mine had problem with the latest BIOS A05 but no problems with A04. If not BIOS related, I still have risk of seeing the YLOD:(

I just updated off of Dells website, I don't know what it was.
I'm guessing it wasn't a bios issue, since it seems stable with win 10. Probably just a quack trying wipe the drives.

SteamOS in a boot loop on arrival. I plugged in the recovery disk from my other alpha and "recovered" win 8.1. Upgraded it to 10, so far so good.
I also received a 4785T

Still going strong! Again did some shut down, restart, etc. No problems so far. I assume A04 is the BIOS people should use if they have YLOD.
BTW, I cannot believe this deal did not make people...

Nice, keep me posted if you can. I'm interested to see if the BIOS version A04 resolves the issue. I'll be receiving mine Monday.
I'm not really seeing much on their patch notes regarding A05...

It was a typo by the OP I assume.
It did say 4765T on Gamestop's website also. I got the 4875T. Lucky I guess.

No kidding! How stupid to avoid a problem that is very critical and maybe they even created this problem with the BIOS update.
The machine still runs without any issues for 4-5 hrs with the A04...

Yeah, I didn't look much into the issue. I've owned a steam machine in the past and never had the YLOD. So I assume it's the BIOS update. Dell should have been on this issue like a hobo on a...

Downgraded to A04. Seems like working fine. Will see. Weird if it is fixed. Because why would a manufacturer write a new Bios that gives pretty important fault, like not booting!
