We dont ship to a Post Office (PO)! It's important to know when a PCB is bad and when swapping it with a donor PCB could work. A thorough diagnosis using special data recovery tools is required. But more to-the-point, a straight forward PCB swap can only work with really old hard drives (10 years+ old), aside from a few very rare exceptions. The reason for this is the PCB's firmware information. Embedded in a firmware on the PCB is "adaptive data" that is unique to the hard drive it's attached to. This "adaptive data" includes information about the hard drive's heads, its firmware version, any bad sectors in the drive's service area, and more. Since each PCB comes from a particular drive with different head maps, number of heads, firmware versions, and factory defects, it cannot simply be swapped and provide access to your data. It's possible if the "bad" hard drive is completely dead that swapping the PCB may get the hard drive spinning again. However, it will likely start clicking, or at least not provide any access to the user data area of the hard drive.
