What tools are you using and what have you done to stabilize the drive?
Is it the same head/s that makes the drive "freeze, are heads working as expected when you put them back in donor?
I'm using M9T-Tool from apextoollab and PC3K-Samsung-Tool/DE from ACE. Drive doesn't initialize without RAM headmap changing, so i think there is media damage in SA on Head0. With Headmap 111111 drive ID's but get BSY after some reading on ALL heads. So i think donor doesn't match. I didn't change the heads back to the donor yet.
What kind of "stabilizing-options" do i have? Thanks.

agreed why waste money if you are going to do it first time, there are absolutely more information required for matching a donor.
Again, this ebay-link was a joke! I've done headswaps many times. What kind of information do you need other than these in my first post? I have an good matching donor but last character in P/N doesn't match. I followed the matching criterias on donor drives blog but read anywhere else, that the last three characters after slash in P/N should also match.
