ok true story - when that happened to me one time in the recent past - i got - well happen to have another hdd that is of the same brand and model and then see that green ic board at the lower side of the hdd?
welll i took screw driver and unscrewed that ic out and swapped it onto the hdd that - like yours - seem to not have power coming through
because i suspected it was a burnt board issue too this action of swapping worked!
i got ot powered on and quickly copied out all the important docs and stuff then said bye bye for the llast time and swapped the good ic back to my good hd and done
