No buttons respond,
Device is not recognized by windows, tried 5 machines not as a drive or in DFU mode.

Any tips on how to get it revived and if not anyone interested in the parts

You have to install the DFU's driver ... it is allocated into DFU tools's folder. You connect it pressing Play + M and then go to Device manager, you choose manual installation, and go to \program files\meizu\dfu tools\ for the .inf file. So it can be recognized by dfu tools software

anyone have a link to the dfu tools program? appears the link are dead..

Yeah the links are sadly screwed. You may try get some from Meizu Product Support instead.

thanks .....

I just revived my 8 GB M6 SL by using JooSH's NAND ERASE method, when nothing else had helped before (THANKS guys!)

A thing to note here: in the DFU tools you have to specify the memory area you want to erase. For my 8 GB SL I had to activate all 4 "chips" and put in a block range of 0 to 2047 for all of them.
After pressing the Erase NAND button it takes some time for the tool to do the job (about 60 seconds, if I remember correctly). When it's finished, the word "Done." appears in the status line.
I also had to reflash the player after erasing the NAND.

Cheers,

Boon
