Congrats !
Got a 210 too last week.
So from the look of your board picture, it seems these funny welded wires near the lcd connector and on the top left are normal... see here :

Was wondering if mine had been modified...
For the 170 , you can try removing it, then tap it on the sides. Like holding it, and tap the sides flat on a table. No to hard, but enough to shock it. That will move the stucked reading head. If all goes well, you should be able to boot from it and see what's on that drive. But the head will stuck again in his place when you leave to sleep, or turn it of.
