how you determine that pcb is faulty at first place ?
a straight pcb swap will not work on these Seagate drives.
better seek professional assistance if data is important.

Was the original board damaged in this area?

My educated guess is because it is not easy to understand what the problem is based on the description you provided and how your questions fit in the case described.

Generally speaking, non-compatible firmware on a PCB with firmware on the drive in Seagates will result in clicks and spin down. But there are exceptions as the compatibility factors are of various levels.

Drive would most likely click if the FW chip is not original
