Hi, I paid a shop to replace my old board with a donor board same model 2060-800041-003 REVP1, they swapped my bios chip from the old board to the new one, now the hard drive spins and stops after a couple of seconds and the white light starts flashing on the western digital hard drive, on the computer it shows up in disk management i try initalize it with mbr or gpt and it wont it errors out, it shows up as unallocated and im unable to access my information on the drive, the usb is completelty ripped off on the original board, what am i suppose to replace to get this working?

Most likely other damage (motor stops). Would guess heads.
Further tests need to use SATA PCB.

AIUI, this is a locked PCB. How would a locked donor PCB + patient ROM behave on a working patient HDA? Does the OP need to repair the original PCB and reinstate the ROM?
