I don't own a Seagate (I am avoiding them because of these problems I
keep hearing about) and I am writing this from memory, so take my
advice with a salt mine or so.

You may need to rotate the spindle just a tad.  You may be able to do
this with pliers.  Do it with the power off.  Hopefully that will
bring it up again.  Good luck.
