When I try to turn on my Amiga the Hard Disk led is faintly flickering
and I can hear the motor of the drive getting louder and louder until
it just stops (without the usual chirping sounds it makes).  The drive
has been working perfectly for 5 months.  I leave my system on 24
hours and cold-rebooted only about 10 times.  I've tried cycling the
power a couple of times with no results.  Could this be the stiction
problem?  How can I give the stepper motor a nudge?
