We fix these by swapping the platters and heads into a comparable drive enclosure with a good motor.

Don't attempt it yourself without the proper tools and experience.

Replacement of the motor is also possible, unless it destroyed a motor cylinder.

Easier to swap the platters and heads.

Or there are tricks to get the motor running long enough to image the drive, they usually work for me 8/10 times ;-)

These drives are position sensitive. Try imaging the drive with it positioned vertically, with the cable coming out the bottom.

...or, for me, 10/10 consistently! (And I get to keep the motor running as long as necessary....)
