The drive DEFINITELY is D.E.A.D. I put it in an external SCSI enclosure with no fans, and it makes no noise whatsoever. I had read that stiction article before, and I tried that too. Also, the 5V was at around 4.5, and the 12V was at around 10! I couldn't find an adjustment, however, so I expanded the vertical and horizontal to fill the screen. The jumpy video is much less noticeable and now the screen looks gorgeous!
