Ahh, yes I, too, have tapped a few hard drives with a hammer ever so gently to unstick the heads. I also shorted over a current sense resistor back in the day of full sized 5.25" drives for a nice old drive that was just taking a little too much current to spin up than the electronics wanted to give. Safety feature, smaftey feature. It was a 30MB drive, I wasn’t going to give up easily!
