you can tell its the same picture because the anti static bag reflects in the exact same spots... just look at it
Old post but yes, I simply didn't bother to take new photos of the same board. Asus took it back because of the residue on the second attempt.

I'm still stuck with the board they sent me after that that makes this high-pitch noise when the battery is in. Didn't go away with a new battery. The board is now a basement server since the noise is bad enough that my wife won't have me have a machine with that board in our study.
