Default Dead Hard Drives

First post!!!
3 weeks ago I started my PC to be greeted with the dreaded "Boot Failure". All was well the night before, so set about finding the cause of the problem. Both of my hard drives (Seagate 120gb SATA) did not show up in bios (strange).
It would seem that for some unknown reason both hard drives were dead, not spinning up. I installed an old spare drive and away it went. I deduced from this that it was a power problem and suspected the logic boards. I purchased an identicle used drive, swapped the logic boards and my drives work ok, so the logic boards are faulty. I now have 3 drives and 1 good logic board between them.
Finally the point of all this and my question.
Does anyone know where you can get logic boards repaired?
or, Has anyone got any mechanically duff Seagate 120gb SATA drives knocking about and would sell me the logic boards?
I know the drive spec has to be identicle for this to work. The spec on my drives is:-

Seagate Barracuda 120gb SATA 7200.7
Part No 3120026AS
Firmware version 3.18

Sorry for the long post, but I would like to get these drives working again. I know new drives are not that expensive, but it seems such a waste to just bin them.

Cheers......Tony.
