Check for stiction first.

More likely than motor jam.

Agree. The simplest way to make sure about this is to open the HDA cover in the clean room, and see what's going on inside.

Yep, make sure it's in a proper cleanroom. Or you can make the problem a whold lot worse!

If you're in UK, I'll do it for you.
