Did you check if the bearing is free to spin? It may not be a PCB problem.

If it is a PCB problem, it could be several things . . . Smooth chip, corrupted ROM, TVS, etc.

Ideally get hold of a Donor PVB and swap the ROM Chip

Firstly, as jono says, make sure the problem IS the PCB.

Does the drive make ANY noises at all when power applied?

(E.g. Buzzing noises)
