Harddisk SEAGATE ST2000LM007, FW:SBK2

[acid1]

Hi guys, I'm new here on the forum and I would like to ask a few things (sorry for the beginner questions).
I have a SEAGATE 2TB external drive (inside is a ST2000LM007 drive, FW: SBK2). The drive is not identified in the BIOS. I wanted to rescue data from the disk. I replaced the control board with a completely identical one from another disk, but the problem persisted. But the disk has defective read heads and scratched platters. I drew and printed a tool to fix the heads on a 3D SLA printer and then swapped the heads between the two disks. But even after the swap, the disk was not identified in the BIOS. Moreover, when I put the read heads and electronics board back into the originally working disk, it no longer worked either.
I would like to ask if the drive motor of the disk still needs to be synchronized with the read heads somehow, or what needs to be done if swapping the read heads is not enough?
Thank You for any help.

you'd better outsource it because these are not for newbies. Quite a lot of pitfalls, and easy to screw it up beyond recovery.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies and ideas.
Of course, before I partitioned the drive, I sent it to 2 data recovery labs. One demanded 1500$, the other about 900$.
That seemed quite a lot of money to me, so I disassembled the drive.
Of course I don't have a hepa 100 clean room. The perimeter of the drive is more likely to show scratched platters, not much dust got in..

also fat on platters.....

Regrettably, the price you were quoted by the other labs is reasonable for this model with mechanical issues. $900 is actually on the cheaper side.
