yes. i ask paitent and donor PCB. bec. i am not sure about donor head.

Did you try head test of all 4 heads using cylinder -2 ? The audio file you uploaded sounded like failed heads and not heads that were seeking.

Yes I tried head test. Says all heads died.

I guess heads 0 or/and 1 gone. Or g list , p list , zone table corrupted.
I don't believe all 4 heads gone. But MRT says all gone. Anyway I ll try to swap head later.

Why did you not open the drive before? Seems like you wasted a lot of time

This must have happening during cloning, no way would have gotten 98% clone as it stands now. The heads would have been killed instantly by that damage.
