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.
