>The drive doesn't spin up anymore, but I know the disk platters are OK.

Seagate drives have a reputation for stuck platters.  It has to do with  the
spindle lube viscosity or something.  If you can turn the spindle by hand
this might just do it as a temporary fix.  The platter may or may not stick
again later...
