What are you trying to do?
Both 1961 and 1801 are USB PCBs. And they're not compatible.

Hello again.
A friend spilled some liquid on the drive. The board has many damage and I ordered a new board hoping that by switching the bios ic I ll get his data back. But they send me wrong board just wanted to know if the could be compatible and get my data but it looks like not

pepe,
there are compatible and incompatible:
771961 FBLite USB - A5C0/E9/21/1/0/0/9021
771961 Shrek LT USB - 95B0/99/10/1/1/0/8021
771801 Firebird USB - 95B0/99/10/1/0/0/0
771801 Firebird USB - A5C0/E9/21/1/0/0/8021

1801 has 88i9346 (95B0), 1961 has 88i9446(A5C0) and they are not compatible. I have never seen 1961 with 95B0 and 1801 with A5C0.
But i have seen ShrekLt with 1801 pcb (and 1823, which is sata), which obviously has 95B0 (88i9346) on it.
So i still hold my oppinion of them being incompatible.

1801 ==> 1823 (Firebird - Shrek)
1961 ==> 1960 (FBlite - Shrek_LT)
Although, they are still compatible with heads replacement (T2 - TJ - V2 - VJ).

heads yes, but pcb (1801 vs 1961 or 1823 vs 1960) not.
And yes, of course, it was not ShrekLt but Shrek with 1801 i mentioned. Sorry.

I didn't say that pcbs are compatible.

I too stand with my first reply, 1801 and 1961, incompatible.
Have never seen any 1801 with 88i9446, I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but if it does then it's damn rare.

My 2 cents of advice, a drive that has liquid spilled on it, I would suggest to have it evaluated before you power it on again.
In case there is liquid inside the drive and you spin it up, then, well... you'll have a huge mess on your hands.
And 'evaluated' I mean by someone who knows what they're doing and has the proper experience and facilities.
