Floppy drive won't read
Floppy drive won't read
Enabled in BIOS. Floppy drive lights up and shows up in windows. Insert floppy window comes up, I put in disk and it won't spin up and read. First problem I had, the blue floppy eject button was stuck in and the floppy would not stay in. I opened the drive and bent the metal catch on the other end of the eject button so the floppy cover cam would release it. Damaged-floppy drive or ultra bay 2000 connector? How would I check?
refurbed A30, 265243U,, bios 1.12 5/16/02,, 1.13GHZ,, 768MB,, IBM recovery disk w/XPpro 2002 5.1,, HD 60GB,7200rpm, cdRW/DVD,, dock 3631,,
Pulled the drive apart again. Found something binding the drive so that the floppy would not drop down on the platter.
edit; Got it reassembled and back in the TP and a floppy formatted.
