i have also gotten things to work by unplugging them for a little while.
not hard drives, but electronics and computers can sometimes be reset by
removing ALL power from their circuit boards. this sometimes entails removing
an internal battery.
reminds me of a story: i had inventory to do in my basement as i was reorganizing. i had a custom database i had developed on my pretty expensive laptop. i thought, "nah, i shouldn't take it into the basement because of evil spirits or something
"down there".
but i did it anyway. as i was moving wood chisels to a new container i thought i should
sharpen them. i ground them on a wheel and put them away.
my computer was 5 feet away.
10 minutes later it started to act messed up. i called a friend and he said, "microscopic metal bits have floated around and been sucked into your computer!."
ouch!
he fixed it by buying a coupla gallons of denatured alcohol. and soaking the whole thing several times to float out the mettalic bits that were shorting the boards.
seems the alcohol didn't damage anything.

hi Wayne
With much frustration that's how I finally fixed my VCR and it has continued to purr for several months now...I immediately thought of going into the
business of repairing them...

This can be a DROP of 4 to 6 feet
