[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Seagate st-251 sometimes won't spin up

I've got an Everex At with a Seagate ST-251 hard drive.  Every so
often, the St-251 will not spin up when I turn the machine on.
It works for a while and then gets into a mode where it fails often.
I have always been able to get it going again by taking the machine
apart and putting it back together again. By the time I get access
to the ST-251 it's back in working mode so I haven't had much chance
to investigate.  Last time, just removing the AT cover fixed it.  I
suppose it's really the movement of the machine itself that did it.

Anyone seen anything like this?  Any ideas what can be done?
Does Seagate have a customer service number?
