If the PCB is from EXACT drive (but must be EXACT in FW, ROM version, FW on platters and most of all INTERNAL CONFIGURATION) it can work, otherwise NO.
Assuming you know all the three things above, we can make the PCB compatible or it is possible to recover data from drive even if the original PCB is lost.
