Crashed? Could you explain exactly what is doing the drive?

Also if you could upload some photos...
Maybe you could repair the PCB.

You can replace the PCB, you need to match only 2 things:
The 5 letter code in the PCB's connector, and the 2 letter form the 4 letter code on the TOP lid, this way:
M,?,?,M where M is the matching letter.

Good luck,

In my experience you have to match only 6YxxxPxxxxxx, and pay attention for the date of manufacture. Drives released before 2003 or at the beginning of 2003 have different PCB with external ROM+ SA head is 2 instead of 3. ROM code is incompatible also.

The 5 letter code have inside this sub-family marking what you have wrote. ;)
Anyway, more type of 5 letter code can match for one drive, but if u want to be 100% sure, you should match what i have sad.
This is clearly enough.
