    Hi, i have 2 HD's, one has physical damage which is what my technician told me, and the other one, a pin broke and without it, the computer doesn't read the hard drive, i was wondering if it is possible for me to inter change the circuit board so that i can use the ciircuit of the physically damged one and put it on the one with the broken Pin,
    is that possible?

    it is if identical drives. or if you know somebody who is good with a soldering iron & the pins on both boards attach to the boards the same way than can try that method.

    thanks, i figured that much, they look like the same brand but the board doesn't have much similarities, the screws match though,

    if the drives are not exactly identical than probably won't work.
