If you are talking about the board on the hard drive and not the motherboard you have about a 1 in 10 chance. But only if you have an identical hard drive to steal the board off. If you have to open the top cover and expose the platters the odds are about 1 in 10,000. I have done it but you need to work inside a large ziplock bag so as not to get ANY dust on the platters. You also need micro torx screwdrivers to do it.

I dropped the external Portable Hardrive (WD 500mg) and now it wont show any files that are on it. Is there any way to recover what is on the harddrive???? Jane I have tried plugging in and viewing but...

Hi Oscarmegs,
Your data on the hard drive are lost due to physical damage.But don't worry,you can recover data from hard drive with data recovery software.I have succeed with Tenorshare data recovery.It can recover data after deeply scanning your hard drive to look for lost data due to drives crash, physical damage,system sabotage etc.
Anyway,download a trial version and scan your hard drive for free to preview whether your files can be recovered. http://www.any-data-recovery.com/index.htm

WD ELEMENTS 1TB and the power supply is blinking

You have a bad power supply. You can probably get a new adapter for it.

The Green Board on the underneiths side of my hard drive has a burn spot on itand doesnt work,can i use a different green board from another hard drive (different brand)i have laying around.

Nope, even on swapping hard drive board with same spec(size, board version) doesn't guarantee success.

Consider how the hard drive is construct on different brand. Initialization, disc number and many things.

It maybe, if it is same spec like size, brand, board version and model batch.
