If all you want to do is get data off, open the lid & try to
hand-start (without touching the platters) If it starts, copy stuff
off and throw it away (after stripping out the neodymium magnets, of
course : http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~wwl/neodym.html )
Take care not to breathe on the platters as the condensation makes the
heads stick - this can be rather spectacular if done at speed...!
