No... But I'd turn it on its side longways, and drop it onto a hard surface
from a couple of inches height. I've cured a few head issues by doing
that... Of course, if that works, the FIRST thing you need to do is to copy
off the data you think you'll need... and then try and DD the drive onto
another drive, or off into a file, which you use to lay down elsewhere.
