MY LC475 Autoeject all disk
Posted by: neropt on 2024-07-24 02:09:38
Dear all,

i found some other similar thread but i'm going crazy on this issue.

I bought a LC475, it works, it boots from the HD, the sound is good BUT when i try to insert a flppy disk immediately it ejects the disk.

I immediately recap the motherboard following the CAP Scheme, again the LC475 works perfectly but the issue on the drive was not solved.

I tried the floppy on a powerpc and it works perfectly.

I tried on the LC another working floppy drive and i have the same issue.

Can you please help me to understandand where to check in order to solve this problem ?
- CAPS ?
- Motherboard ?
- Chips ?
- Power supply ?
- Other ?

Thank you in advance for your support
