Support PCB chip change

First of all, just to thank you for sending my PCB I already have it in my hands.

But I have a doubt to be able to make the change from the old PCB to the new one.

The requested PCB is a 100535537 REV A for a Seagate Barracuda LP 1.5 TB drive

The PCB they sent corresponds to the model mentioned above, I see that the card’s BIOS chip is changed, my question is to know what is that chip on my disk?

I have compared the cards and I see that the one they sent me is missing chips, I suppose they are the chips that I have to transfer from my old card to the new one.

My question is do I have to go through all the missing chips or just the BIOS? That according to me are these two

Please refer the attached photo.

It is not the BIOS chip.

Please change BIOS and swap PCB to try, any further problem please feel free to contact us.

First of all I want to thank you for your prompt response and great help, from what I see I was confused which was the BIOS Chip on my PCB.

I have a couple of questions:

1.- In the attached image there are the two PCBs, the New and the Old, when comparing the cards I observe that the new card is missing some circuits, do I have to place the missing chips on the new card? or just the Bios chip?

2.- mark on my old card the damage that it currently presents, a chip was burned by putting a greater electrical source on it, do you think that if I change only that chip without having to change the bios it will work again?

These are the last doubts that I have. I hope you can guide me, once again thanks for all your support, I am attentive to your comments and indications, I send you a hug from Mexico.

Just need to change BIOS, don’t need to change others.
