Heads are not defect, i wrote it.

If you are sure that it is not a head issue, then it most likely a bad board or corrupted firmware. You may also have servo damage. If the drives was dropped you could have platter alignment issues as well.

heads can be WEAK also, not only K.O.

well if u are sure heads ok, maybe u check BIAS from each head, the only way its using a DDA; to check if reach Servo Marks,
