This was an accepted repair trick with the Atari STs when they stopped
functioning. Any chips not seated properly were driven home. I've done it
and it works but I was always a little tentative when doing it, usually at
about 3 inches. 6" was the recommended height, certainly not 6 feet.

This may sound
a bit extreme, but if it's your last shot at saving a
laptop HD, try this method.
1. Find a flat, level surface.
2. Pick up the laptop (or just the drive)about 6 feet above the surface.
3. Drop it.
This is called "E and R, elevate and release", but I wouldn't do it more
than about 6 inches high.
