Either something went wrong during the head swap, or the patient has some platter damage killing the heads.

Hello, A better description of the case could give us a better look.
Patient and donor models, the history behind the problem etc etc.

hello,
thank you for your answer. the model is WD400BD and the doner is the same and the same dcm. i change the head with the special plastic tools and i used the imager tool.
when i change the head and i don't make any physical damages. when i put the head back to the doner, it can not read any data and the head makes clicking noise.

Hence my suggestion of media damage or something went wrong :-)
