My best guess with my WD4000AAJS is that the pcb is fried. I had a problem with my power supply.
I have another WD4000AAJS-00YFA0, and I want to try with the pcb. I read here that I will need to program the head alignment. But if I just try to replace it, can something happen with the data or It's just that I will not read the data?
I wan to give it a try before I send it to a pro.

If your lucky, and the failed pcb didn't fry the preamp, it should spin up and do nothing. That is, until someone programmed the pcb. You have more of a chance of damaging the good pcb than harming the drives data.
