It may be that the voice coil positioner is stuck due to some hardened
grease.
If that is the case, you could try holding the drive in your hand and flick
your wrist hard several times to try to dislodge a possibly stuck voice
coil.
Alternatively you could flick the drive against something soft like your
thigh or a rubber mat.
Finally you could try to gently heat the drive to about 60 degrees C and
then immediately before cooling connect it up to exercise the now hopefully
loosened voice coil mechanism.
