You are probably not going to be able to "recover data" with a straight PCB swap.

If this is your board ...

... then you will need to transfer the 8-pin serial flash memory chip at location U12 from patient to donor. This chip stores unique, drive specific "adaptive" information.

Some board suppliers include a firmware transfer or ROM transfer service for US$10 - $20:

Before we get way out of hand with crazy DIY suggestions/forum spam, who opened it?

And why did they open it?

As it looks like they made no effort to clean the drive's exterior before opening, I can only imagine the contamination on the inside after opening it.

Hi, we have this working PCB in stock, pls contact my hotmail to see if I can help or not.

Thanks, Eric
