Sorry to ask, have you remembered to transfer ROM or firmware from burned PCB to donor ?
Your drive is most likely a Hitachi in WD disguise.

Did you check the fuses and TVS diodes?
There appear to be two ROMs located at the top left corner of the MCU in your photo.

I bet it gives you the S/N of the donor and not the one on your bad drives label?
