What is the hardware number? Some PCM's can be unbricked by removing the cover and grounding a certain pin during boot up - the P01 and P59 PCM devices. But you have to immediately be ready with the new software load.
Do you have a file copy of what was running inside your PCM before you bricked it?

I'm sorry but its the "Service" number that I need, not the hardware number. And I only know how to unbrick those devices that have the last four digits of "0411" and "4896" in the Service number. Sorry for the numbers goose chase but its good that you have a file copy.

If the white sticker is still there, it'll be on that. What color are the connectors to your PCM? My experience is all P01 = red and blue and P59 = blue and green. If the PCM isn't toast, there are You Tube videos on where to ground a P01 or a P59 PCM to unbrick it but your window of opportunity to put a functional OS back on it is measured in just a few seconds.
