I have a drive out of a user's system that was stored in a closed cabinate (lots of heat). It sometimes worked, I was able to get some data off via IDE->USB cable, but after trying to get a second batch of data off, the drive no longer spins up, and makes no sound at all.

There is no voltage going to the spindle motor... Is this typical of a dead PCB? When I connect it to my Linux box via USB, it does get ID'd as:
WDC WD12 Model: 00BB Rev: 17.0

When it worked, it was:
WDC WD12 Model: 00JB-00CRA1 Rev: 17.0

Any suggestions? Would a simple PCB swap fix it? If so, anyone happen to have one of these boards?

It can be the PCB but further details would be required. Try looking for the pcb on ebay or google it. You may have to order over seas...

If the spindle is on the verge of or has seized you MIGHT be able to "hand start" the motor. Open the drive and carefully give it a spin when booting. I definately recommned using in a PC not HDD case. Its worth a quick try before trying other methods...
