Isolate heads connection, see if that makes difference
If powers on spins up then replace heads
If no,
Replace PCB, transfer external ROM and NVRAM

AFAICS, the locking tabs for the motor connector are in the locked position.
Did you release them before withdrawing the flex lead?
BTW, is that an IDE power connector at the top RHS???

Corrupted firmware can cause motor not to spin.

Try to read the nvram and the rom.
and edit them to see if they are corrupeted.

I ran some experiments with hitachi disks editing nvram, some tests resulted in failure to power. I think you should check nvram.

I don't think this drive has any TVS.
Xronis,
If you are still working on this drive can you provide some more info as to what you already have tried?
