Every PCB’s BIOS incloud the unique info. The BIOS needs to be changed.
You can move the BIOS from your original PCB by using hot-air gun, then soldered it on the replacement board. Please refer: https://www.hddzone.com/hard_drive_pcb_firmware_transfer.html. Or you can find an electronics repair shop help you.
