Not sure I understand clearly, therefore I dislike to assume.
But, if you are confident your diagnosis is correct, then you need to repair the pcb OR replace it with a compatible donor pcb along with performing a firmware adaptation procedure. Since it is a SSHD it is a bit more complicated due to the cache component.
