After powering it clicks slightly few times (7-8) and spins down.
In terminal, after ctr+z and any command it shows:
LED: 000000CE FAddr: 0029DB13

Sometimes theres CC.
I think it's head failure. How probable is it ?

I've done it many times so it's not a problem.
The problem is i'm not 100% sure it's the head.

Maybe it's the head.
The ones we've used were much older.

As an overlay cannot be loaded at startup, did you try make the drive boot EXTERNALLY (i.e. loader with PC3000 or other tool) ?

I would have checked the SA before assuming it's heads (one bad block in SA) or try the dirty tricks. HS is one of the latest resorts.
