I guess this isn't likely to work now that the drive's been opened, but
I've had surprisingly good luck with dead drives by putting them into a
static bag, sealed up with tape, and leaving them in the freezer
overnight! This has worked for 2 out of 3 drives I've tried it on,
whether it was just coincidence or dumb luck (or combinations of the
two!). Anyway, when there's nothing to lose, you get all kinds
interesting thoughts on how to revive that drive one last time


Did you spin them up cold or keep them in the bag, allow them to warm up,
before spinning them up?

I would think that spinning them up cold would [at least in Louisiana]
guarantee condensing water inside and making a real mess of everything.
