I don't believe that you need an exact match. Any differences with a similar PCB should be accounted for if you transfer the bridge firmware to your replacement board. I can't see the markings, but the 8-pin chip at U4 appears to be the most likely candidate. If you could identify its markings, then I could confirm that for you. |

Thank you fzabkar. How should I go about transferring the Firmware? will Ihave to physically switch out the chip? I am not as handy as I should be with an iron, so I would probably have to get a buddy to do it for me. |

Alternatively, there is PonyProg freeware, but you will need to construct a simple interface circuit: http://www.lancos.com/prog.html In both cases you will need to be adept at using a soldering iron. |
