What were the original symptoms? Was the drive clicking and spinning down, or did it sound fairly normal on startup?

some time it clicking and down. some time ít sound hear as normal but with noise sound.
I do not have solutions for the correct handling of this case . I just can say to clients that disk face scratched.
I has tried on two hard drives good and duplicity from each other and it runs very well .

Have you tried ldr and dir upload to see if you can read the SA tracks from either head or even trough composite reading? Possibly it's just SA damage and you could recover by setting up a smart hot start drive.

There is no hot-swap on Seagate F3 drives.

it really is not clear. Sometimes I was change head from including model. P/N. First 3 numbers of S/N and producing contry. but failed

Its common that these drives suffer a head crash on one of the bottom platters out of sight. Check the heads under a microscope to see if they are dirty before trying the head swap.

If you put the patient heads back into the donor and the heads no longer work then you know that scratches killed the donor heads.

You're right, my mistake. I must have been going back and forth between a few threads and got confused which drive we were talking about.
