| FDHD drive not accepting floppy disk |
Posted by: Hopfenholz on 2021-01-18 08:42:01
Hi everyone,
Is there a guide to repairing / rebuilding an FDHD drive? The one in my SE is not working. I have to shove the disk in quite hard, it doesn't have that servo-assisted action it should have, nor does it read disks.
Is there a "howto" on this? I've tried a good cleanup and lubricating the moving parts, cleaning the heads etc but it clearly needs more attention.
Many thanks
Joel

There’s a ton of videos concerning cleaning and lubricating those drives.
Can you post a picture of your own ?
not sure why your drive is not working properly, probably grease hardened.
