WDC WD10SPZX-22Z10T1 HDD Constantly dies after swapping Heads

I have this 1 TB Drive in Transcend Enclosure
Model: WD10SPZX-22Z10T1
Serial: WD-WXL2E60FKTS5
Firmware: 04.01A04
Cap: 1TB

When it first come to me it has Head issue. The drive spins up but makes Head clicking sound
I proceed to change it heads
and unlock SED of the Drive
Everything was fine. Plugged to PC3000 Readied, ID normally

As soon as i clicked HDD Resource Backup
The drives shows Errors: DISK ECU UNSAFE ERROR
VSC ERR UNSUP ACTION CODE
The heads starts clicking and the HDD dies. 5V goes from 0.87 to 0.17
Drive stops spinning and since that never comes alive again

I tested 1 more time with another pair of heads. Same issue. Drive straight up dies upon backing up

Tried swapping back to test those donor drives. They all became dead with 5V 0.17

I checked platters of the customers drive. All clean and well. I guess this customers drive is somehow a Drive killer

Would love to hear other opinions
Or someone that can shed light upon this!!!

Thanks!
