Yep, I've done that before. Also a good swift rap on the case above
the location of the power supply will get it going again.

Nah. It's that silly cheap power connector, not the disk. The *only*
really long term solution I've found is to open it up and clean and
lube the power connector. You could solder it I guess but that would
make it a reall pain in the butt when it becomes time to fix the
power supply.
