Harddrive makes a double click sound when running. Sounds like it's spinning. Can't see any burn or other issue on the PCB.

The below symptoms of HDD/PCB are may be caused by failure PCB:

HDD can't spin up. Either no sound or a short, quiet tickling sound can be heard.
A burning smell can be sensed coming from the HDD or PCB.
Burned components on the PCB.
The HDD be connected to wrong power supply.
PCB's interface damaged.

Note: Replacement the PCB will not solve the problem below:

The drive will power up normally (no ticking noises, errors etc) but will not be recognized by the computer
The drive will power up normally and be recognized correctly but will report a size of 0 bytes
The drive will power up but report SMART errors on boot
