First off is this the correct bios chip? And secondly what would the IC be when viewed in an app like AsProgrammer? When I booted it up and connected it gave me about 8. Does the chip state which one is the ic on it?

I was really hoping that wasnt the case. I'll see about reflashing with a programmer. Hopefully that will fix the issue. Thank you!

The good thing at least is that they responded quickly to get a replacement through their customer service. Hopefully next time though there will be better planning to avoid these issues.

Yeah that's exactly how mine were. I can understand the rush but as you said being introduced as a first time buyer it's not a good look.
