There was a constant clicking sound on the damaged drive, suspecting head damage, replaced head from donor drive. But still the same. I tried swapping PCB no use also.

Please let me know if you have any idea of what is happening?

Cheers

Have you tried putting the heads from the original in the donor to cross check whether the heads are really the issue?
