Perhaps the hard drive itself, (&/or) connecting cable, has damages.
That accounts for 'mac starts up to circle with line through it'.
And if so, these parts could be replaced; to restore functions.
"A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through
it, means that your startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's
not a version or build of macOS that your Mac can use."
1.Press and hold the power button on your Mac for up to 10 seconds, until your Mac turns off.
2.Turn on your Mac and immediately press and hold both Command (⌘) and R to start up from macOS Recovery.
3.While in macOS Recovery, use Disk Utility to repair your startup disk.
4.If Disk Utility found no errors, or repaired all errors, reinstall macOS.
5.If you still need help, please contact Apple Support.
