Yes. I swapped PCBs once due to a friend's PSU blowing most of the chips.
However newer disks have parameters in Flash memory so it doesn't work.
Also of course there are SSDs, which are only a PCB and fail without warning.
Next time make backups on at least a USB HDD (not a memory stick, BD or DVD and not solely on the so called "cloud" which is just someone else's computer).
