Sometimes if you can spin it enough by hand it'll start turning freely, but more often the spindle is bent and it's going to have a wicked wobble even if you could free it. Platter swap time.

I did a platters swap on one of these today, patient spindle was making a horrible grinding noise and not getting to speed.

Cloning now...

For a pro with the right tools, laptop drive platter swaps are relatively simple...although, still a last resort in my opinion.
