If it clicks and spin down, then you have more serious issues.

Just just to be sure... Check the PN of the PCB or post photos of both here

If what you say is true (I.e. PCB is perfect match and you've successfully switched the ROM chip) then as I said before you have more serious issues. I.e.,physical problems not fixable by "tool" or DIY.
