I have been trying to repair a 400 k floppy drive.
Was stuck hard in the first place and managed to get the carrier free, in order to have a nice insert and eject process.
Problem is, i spotted the small upper pressure felt was missing, so in operation the unprotected plastic is scratching the upper part disk.
The drive is not working, can ear the floppy acting, but the floppy will not find the system.
Anybody has found a way to replace this felt pad, and can be this missing part responsible for the drive not locating the information on the disk ?
