Any help would be greatly appreciated. I found one with everything matching except it had B5502C20 which won't work. Thanks.

I do not have one handy but I am almost positive that with just the 100536501 RevA you can swap the firmware chip in the upper left of the board.

Just doing a regular board swap will not work with a dead board on these models.

if the drive is not spinning at all i would do a search on TVS on this board

Doesn't matter how close you get with f/w version, it won't work.

These PCB's have UNIQUE data (even down to the serial number) programmed into the ROM chip which needs to be transferred.

If you need to purchase a PCB, try the following vendor:

His price is US$40, plus $10 for a ROM transfer, if required.

Otherwise, upload a detailed photo of your PCB and one of us will help you with a DIY repair, if feasible.

BTW, I am not associated with any supplier.
