I don' think it is a platter damage. Can you someone please point out what to look for on matching donor drive for Seagate Momentus 5400.3 hard disk.

If heads, match the 2 & 3 characters of the S/N.

If the drive starts up with 4 sharp clicks and spins down, I'm 95% sure you've got head / media damage.

Dear jono-ats are you referring to 2 & 3 characters of Serial number ? or model number or part number?

The start up and I hear a repeated clicking sound that goes on and on and the drive does not spin down.

The sound is something like this
tree-tak-teena tin
tree-tak-teena tin
tree-tak-teena tin

Post terminal output

Serial number.

Pretty sure you've got head / media damage. Odds of successful recovery with these are low.

Agree with jono.

Recovered 1 or 2, but mostly too badly damaged.
