Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Got a USB external drive with Western Digital 500GB inside a year ago. Suddenly it quits working, upon open up the case, it sounds like having struggle to spin up. Further check and suspect the PCB board is burnt (as I see brown-ish burn mark nicer the E9 pin area)
I am wonder where I can get an exact PCB replacement board.
Model / MDL: WD5000AAJS-00TKA0
Date: 18 OCT 2007
DCM: DBNCHV2AHB
PCB Board : 2061-701477-100AC XC 4U09 21E6 5 0007150 8157 (based on the sticker)
another print on the board : 2060-701477-002 REV A
Any direction / suggestion on how I can get the PCB board will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I just find on ebay there is an exact model of the hard drive.
It is manufactured a month later (Nov 2007)
It has the same PCB 2061-701477-100AC and print 2060-701477-002 REV A
The only difference are the:
DCM : DBRNNT2MHB
MDL: WD5000AAJS-00YFA0
Will that PCB work on my failed drive?

No, these PCB's have pretty much unique info programmed into them.
To perform a PCB swap on this model you need specialist equipment to re-manufacture this data from the platters and program into a new PCB.
Show a good picture of the component side of the PCB, so we can see where the burn is and possibly offer some tips.
