Thanks for the tips!

Am wondering if anyone has tried this "Hold the drive upside down,
making gravity change the head geometry ever so slightly. Vertical is
also another option."

Also if the heads are sticking to the platter and the motor is not
turning, how long until it burns out?

If you're interested in more solutions like this, you might want to do a
Google Search for "200 ways to revive a hard drive". I'd link to a
direct document, but the first two results (which are probably what you
want to read) are PDFs. This way, you can use Google's "View as HTML"
option if you want.
