Sounds like its trying to spin up then re starts..........

Bad assumption.
Bad PCB doesn't mean that you won't get spin-up.
Bad PCB can cause all kinds of stuff... ticking/clicking... spin up... spin down... spin up again loops, spin up and stall, incorrectly recognized HDD name, lost partition, etc etc.
What you're describing sounds more like PCB issue ( and that's a good thing ).
If I were you, I'd look for another HDD ( same model ) and swap PCBs
