I have a 60-gig Seagate Momentus 5400.2 (96812AS) drive that died. When started up, it just clicks a few times and spins. I'm about to buy a second working drive on eBay -- the first one I bought was the wrong firmware.

My bad hard drive definitely has something rattling inside when I shake it up and down; the working one I bought does not. Does this mean that I probably won't have any luck no matter how many donor drives I try? Or maybe I'll have to put the platter in a good drive or put good heads in the bad one? I've looked inside the drive (heads, platter, etc.) and I don't see anything obviously wrong, but that rattle worries me.
