PDQ - Floppy Disk Drive
Posted by: AlpineRaven on 2018-07-13 17:49:53
Morning all - this week I've just received another DOA PowerBook G3 (knew it wasn't working but came with very good shell and 2 working batteries and dead LCD) which will be donor for my PDQ PowerBook that is in very poor condition so will put both into one which I just done last night. One more left thing to do is the floppy disk drive - when inserted in PowerBook - and put floppy disk in, it does not read at all, not even a spin up or anything and if you restarted it, it does not eject. I haven't yet opened it up at all so before I do, what should I be looking for?

Cheers

AP
