I have a dead HDD and I think it is just the PCB that is dead. I can see physical burn marks on one of the chips. I tried to buy the same HDD and swap the PCBs but I cannot detect the HDD in the bios. Could this be because the drives have different firmware? Is there any way to buy a drive or PCB with the correct firmware?

My old drive is:
- SeaGate Barracuda 7200.10 - 250GB
- Model ST3250820A
- P/N: 9BH03E-500
- Firmware 3.AAC

New Drive:
- Firmware 3.AAF
