No.
When the original pcb is isolated i enter command Z and i receive the normal message of spin down.
Then i remove the insulation paper and enter U command but i receive R/W error

If you dont see the TetonST boot then I guess ROM is ok, your donor PCB may not be compatible.

After spinup, what is the fill error you see? Also, with native ROM + PCB does it remain powered or does its spindle shut off? Did you check SN at ID when PCB is isolated? Does it match the label of the HDD?

Original PCB 100475720 + native ROM log

Code:
'PCB isolated'
Rst 0x20M
F3 T>/2
F3 2>Z
Spin Down Complete
Elapsed Time 0.138 msecs

'PCB connected'
F3 2>U
DiagError 00006008
Spin Error
Elapsed Time 12.783 secs
R/W Status 2 R/W Error 84150180
F3 2>

'Drive still spinning'


Serial at offset 0x61644 of the ROM dump, match the one written on the label.

I think you need to try new PCB, one with same code as your native PCB and transfer ROM over

Right now i don't have donor 100475720, i used as donor pcb 100466725 because is the only one i have and usually on this drives you see this pcb model.
100475720 on DM22 STM3500320AS are unusual.

But if you say that the exact pcb swap will work, i will try it.
Thanks.

From your output there is definately some 'hardware' error. Spindle remains powered, you have T> and you get error on spin-up. Im not certain its anything without seeing it, but at this stage PCB is a good assumption.

ok i will try, i can find a donor for 20$ (including shipping cost)

I changed the pcb 100475720 today (obviously i transferred the rom), but i still have same issue.
Head clicking on spin up command in terminal, but it doesn't spin down

Code:
'PCB connected'
F3 2>U
DiagError 00006008
Spin Error
Elapsed Time 12.783 secs
R/W Status 2 R/W Error 84150180
F3 2>

'Drive still spinning'
