Usually it's the fuse at F1 that blows, but if you've checked that then I would transfer the NVRAM @ U6 to another compatible PCB.

If you can't find a PCB with same ROM version as yours, you'll have to switch ROM @ U3 too.

well, after testing a non compatible PCB , the drive spins up and no clicks , so i presume now am sure that it's a pcb related issue ...
