My 30M Mass Micro Systems drive is starting to have a problem I've seen
mentioned here before.  It often doesn't start spinning the first time I
turn it on; flicking the switch several times always gets it started.

The question is: Is this going to get worse and worse, to the point
where eventually it will never start?  MMS wants $50 just for an
estimate, and possibly $250 to replace the drive mechanism after that.
Are there any cheaper home remedies?
