There appear to be two e-fuses near the SATA power connector. If your client has swapped cables between dissimilar PSUs, then the 5V e-fuses have most likely been damaged. In most cases you can bypass the fuse. You may need to remove it if either Vin or Vout is shorted to ground.
Warning: do not interchange modular PSU cables:

Can you provide a more detailed view of IC32 and the other small IC nearest the SATA connector?
If you are patient, I'll try to help you with your other PCBs. Please don't mess with the ROMs and donor PCBs. I saw someone else destroy two HGST drives (patient and donor) by doing this.

I can't read the markings on the 5V e-fuse. Can you clarify what they are?
