The 1.44MB floppy drive in my Classic II wasn't reading disks reliably, so I cleaned the heads. I'm worried that I may have lifted the head too high, as the top head now no longer gets close enough to the disk surface to read. Outwardly, it appears to be in position, but it isn't - it won't read any disks.
After some fiddling, I've found that placing about 3.0 grams of weight on the head armature restores the read function, but I'm trying to figure out if there is a better way to repair this.
Anyone encountered this problem before?
