Interestingly at one point it started working again. Then after I put it all back
together again, it stopped working once more. In one case, it seemed to start spinning
when I changed the disk's orientation (on its side rather than flat), almost as if it
just needed a mechanical encouragement to get it moving. But now, no matter how many times
I try, and what different orientations I try, it doesn't work. Does any of that help
with pointing the finger at all?
I hate to suggest this, but... head stuck to the platter?
(I don?t know if drives like this can do that. I do remember an RF11 that stopped
spinning because a head crashed, melted, and glued itself to the platter solid enough to
stop the spindle motor.)
