I don't know much about this subject so I hope someone will fill the blanks. But just by reading this http://www.harddrive-repair.com/pcb-repair.html changing PCB will result as working drive if pieces match. But the difference in firmware will lead to dataloss. Now, seller is correct as you have working drive. Thats about all I can say.
