Just got done finishing up the last bit of work on my SE/30, and did the floppy drive a favor by:
1) Degreaser on Q-tips, very carefully cleaning only the areas where mechanical action takes place.
2) Regrease lightly said spots.
3) Dry Q-tip on the drive heads.
Now it doesn't work any more. The first drive I had with this machine I was far more elaborate, spraying down the entire assembly with degreaser and blowing it dry, then making sure it was dry before use. That failed to work (although I don't know if it was working before the clean or not, it had a bad MB).
Took it back apart, ran straight degreaser on the heads to get them wicked clean. Still doesn't work. Yet I do not much more than the cleaner disks do -- how could it fail?
Experiences?
