[QUOTE="Hunter5117, post: 139745, member: 799"] In the early '90's I was partner in a PC business. People would bring in their computers with dead hard drives hoping we could recover something from them. One fix that worked about 80% of the time was to take the hard drive out, take it in the back room (so no one would see) and whack it with a rubber mallet. It would not last for long but usually long enough to recover their lost data to a new drive. Never knew if it was the platter bearings or the head actuators, but whatever was seized up would come back to life for a short while. [/QUOTE]
