It will be unlikely that you will simply be able to replace PCB. You may need to solder over ROM chip, and this is assuming the fried PCB has caused no damage to any internal components.

you can get away with not swapping ROM chips if you have a good match. I have often just matched the model completely and get a good working drive again.

Yes, but I am guessing you hold a rather large stock of parts and have a much larger choice of PCBs.
