Iv had some luck with drives where the head gets suck in the park position.
If the drive spins up then shuts down it could be this. Bit of an
agricultural fix but, take the lid off and give the head a slight nudge off
the centre and get the lid back on quick. I'm lead to believe this will

I've done this on modern drives. It is not particularly tricky.

If the problem is merely corruption of the file system, but the hardware
is still working well, then the repairs could be almost trivial.

Are there data recovery services that can determine if the files on the drive
can be recovered or can actually do such a recovery? Now that I think about
