I have a brand new Seagate 3TB SATA 3 drive with the power connector

Salvage the power/data assembly from a dead drive and swap it over?

Not having a dead Seagate SATA 6Gb/sec drive lying around that isn't
really an option.
[Well, apart from one with a dead power connector...]

There is also the suggestion that the PCB is specifically tuned for the
individual drive.

This is the justification Seagate use for not repairing drives or
supplying spare parts.
