PCB circuit board??

Hi, I asked this on an older thread in the beginner section, but I'm worried it might be too old for anyone to see, so I'm reposting this here. I had issues with my Rebel t4i  (purchased in June 2013) with blurry pictures, no point of focus and front focusing. I know how to take sharp pictures, and the problem did not originate from lack of experience. I sent 2 lenses back to the Canon Repair center - a 50mm 1.8, the kit lens of 18-135mm along with the T4i. Canon sent me a report saying the lenses both tested out fine, but they needed to replace the PCB circuit board on the body. Can someone explain to me in layman's terms what this is, and how would this get damaged? Is it normal for a 6 month old camera to need that replaced?

Canon EOS Rebel T4i (EOS 650D / EOS Kiss X6i)
