Thanks bekdik, i phoned them, the do not sell PCB boards, but they gave me the number for another company, and they do have PCB boards for a Seagate 120GB ATA drive but....wait for it...... R 3500.00 ex. vat.
That convinced me to rather go buy a new hdd, and use that PCB board.

Can't they move the data to a new drive for you? That would at least stop you from losing the warranty on the new drive - I seem to remember that they offer a data recovery service.

yeah, the other company that charges R3500 is a data recovery company. You see, my client is going to replace the PCB with a new hard drive's PCB and hopefully that works for him, if it doesnt then he is going to go the data recovery route.
