   Also, if that isn't your revision number, here is another revision number for the PCB based on your model number given (I have marked the test points)

   This part, right?
   
   I can replace that… worst case scenario it's like $200-$250 tops if I have to buy an entirely new (identical) drive.
   
   I'm absolutely willing to do that (it's cheaper than sending it away and paying like $2000).

   
   Assuming this is your part number for your HDD's PCB, you need to check here...

   Check for shorted diodes on the PCB. I bet that is your problem. You don't even need to replace the shorted diode. Just remove it when you locate it.
