Hi Tery,
Yes. If you have replaced the MSP430F5528, it will need the HID BRIDGE firmware installed.
The firwmare image for the MSP430F5528 HID bridge is located in the c:\ti\msp\USS_02_40_00_00 installation directory. Look for file TI_MSP_HIDBRIDGE__1_00_03_00__BANSHEE-USS-EVM.txt.
To re-program the MSP430F5528 you will you will need the Python firmware upgrader GUI. You can download it from here.
Next, you need to hold the button shown in the picture while connecting the USB cable, then release it, then follow the instructions in the pdf that comes in the download.

Where can I download this file?

2. unzip to folder: c:\ti
3. press and hold the button show in the screen shot above while connecting the USB cable to the PCB
4. release the button
5. double-click on the Python_Firmware_UgraderGUI.exe as shown here
6. if successful, you should see the following
7. from the GUI menu select File>Open User Firmware and navigate to the location where you have the .txt image file.
Now, if something goes wrong, such as you didn't hold the button down, you might see this:
If this is the case, repeat the steps 3 and 4.
If still not successful, please let me know.
