To swap the boards you need a hard drive of the same model and ideally batch as the one you are trying to repair.

A gold smith might be able to solider the pin back on. Then again it might be cheaper to buy a new hard drive. ~£40 for a 160GB drive: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-HM1..._2?ie=UTF8&qid=1318188287&sr=8-2

Buy a drive, once bits start literally falling off it's usually not worth the repair costs.
