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.)
