for a serious cleaning with alcohol or even acetone so that no debris or
solidified grease can be found on the screw, followed by a pebble of
lithium chassis grease worked back into the groove of the screw. Put it
back together & back into the computer. It the q-tip isn't too dirty,
wipe a thin film of grease on the rails the head carriage slides on, but
more likely it would get a fresh & some clean grease. It might work
another for another ten years!

Just curious if you looked at the 'ufiformat' command.
