Replacement part... Troubleshooting 3 posts Dec 3, 2012 — Dec 4, 2012
Hi!

The other day, my floppy drive broke :( .

I've traced the problem down to a faulty HD/DD switch (the one by the eject button), and now all I need is a replacement. The trouble is, what should I look for? (What are these switches called, etc.)

BTW, the problem was that if I inserted an HD disk, the drive would try and read it as a DD disk. It would sometimes even rapidly speed the motor up and slow it down; that's when the switch was coming on and off.

Thanks,

I Can send you one for free, just pay the shipping.

That's the third time you've offered. It's not free if I have to pay shipping!

Anyway, is it a switch or a drive :) ?
