Skippy, be careful swapping HDD PCB's. Even with the same model size/no., IIRC, the "BIOS calibrations" of the drives done during manufacturing can result in different settings. Swapping PCB can make things worse as you apply the wrong drive calibrations to the wrong drive. You may have had only ONE bad drive, but by swapping PCBs you damaged the other.

Well they were both DOA before I did it :p
