I've been speaking to a gentleman in the comments section under one of my YouTube videos about his 800K floppy drive, and today he shared a video of his problematic clicking head with me here:
As you can see, the optical sensor is in fact working fine. If it was dirty or clogged, it would not work as shown in the video above. But as you can see, the head is still trying to move back over and over.
Is this a case of the Zero Track problem? Does the screw holding the optical sensor in place need to be loosened and the optical sensor moved back slightly? Or is the cause of this problem something else?
