"All on" is NOT normal....
The red light is a drive-access ligh,t and should go out after the power cycle
completes. If it stays on; then you likely need to change the 6502 chip which
should be in a socket already. Swap that chip with a known good one from your
other PCB that you first used to identify that it was a PCB problem.

Lights are normal. All on.
The drive doesn't spin when the drive is turned on or when then disk is accessed
The drive does spin when you turn off for that one second.
Also the turn latch to open and close, the plastic handle is broken

What does the drive do or not do? at power up, does it pass okay or do lights
flash or stay on? does moter keep spinning or stop...or even start to spin?

Hey guys.
I'm looking for the main board for a 1541 as I am trying restore one. I
concluded that there is something wrong with the board as I swapped one out of
a working one.
Let me know and thanks!
