BIOS swapping service in Canada

A project log for samsungExternalHD-repair

My friend Nicole managed to snap off the connector on her external HD, and now needs to recover the 1TB of data.

After trying to order the correct replacement PCB, I learned that each PCB has a unique identifier in the BIOS/Ram. It is therefore necessary to remove the BIOS from the broken PCB and attach it to the new/replacement PCB.  After much research, I found this nifty company in Canada who offers this service free of charge included in the purchase price of the PCB. I now sent off the broken PCB to meet my order in Canada.
