Amiga HD floppy drive repair - Chinon FB-357A

RetroGameModz 10 min Published Feb 2013

About this video

Intermittent disk-in-drive detection on a Chinon FB-357A floppy drive from an Amiga 4000 is repaired in this video, while head cleaning with alcohol was done off camera.

Good to know: Alcohol is flammable and needs ventilation; the head cleaning is not in the video.

Why watch it

A Chinon FB-357A that intermittently misreads whether a disk is inserted is the fault here. The drive came out of an Amiga 4000, and the repair is kept to ten minutes.
