Hello Edwin,
In the upper left corner I can only find the number You asked before: 35 8839 01. Could it be on the backside of the board?
Thanks

No it is the BXA839D allright.
Now get this file:

unpack, read the note.txt and flash the appropriate bios for your board depending on the clock gen IC.
Either one supports harddisks up to 128GB.
