I have a Mac Classic that the Flppy Drive dont try to Eject. I just put in a good working floppy drive from a Mac SE/30 and on this machine, if I send the eject, dont work. The issue is on the logic board at this point. Any pointers what to check or replace. |

take out the floppy drive and clean it. The ejection is driven by a motor and small gearbox
the gears in these gearbox's break or get seized with old dried up grease
to remove the gearbox there are 2 screws and the connector for the motor
the gearbox lid just clips together - carefully pull back the tabs and lift off the cover |

Do you have a second floppy drive with which you can swap eject motors? |
