Explain how you know its bricked. What happened?

Is there any firmware on the drive? New drives are shipped blank.

phat hitachis are never shipped blank

they would be very difficult to program if they were

if the drive is truly bricked, the only way to unbrick it is to desolder the TSOP, then put it into a programmer
then program it with hitachi fw, and resolder the TSOP back on

yeah, replacing the pcb, and manual spoofing your key onto the pcb would be your best solution
