your drive has dead head. dont swap the board - it has nothing to do with your problem.
did you open the drive? if you did, what have you done (tried to move or spin something)? how do you know that platters are intact? Did the head stack start do snap back and forth after you opened it? if you had problem with board - your drive wouldnt spin at all.
