Just re-capped a power supply and the board from an old LC II my dad had in the basement. At first, everything worked well (even after my sketchy solder job.) However, after a few reboots the computer stopped recognizing the hard disc. The bootup tone still plays, but the "?" disk icon shows up on the screen. The hard disc makes a small spin up sound upon boot, as if it is trying to start, but then it quickly goes silent.
What i want to know is 1) Could my amateur re-cap job be the culprit? 2) Is my current hard drive more than likely dead for good? and 3) If my hard drive is dead, what would be an acceptable replacement for this drive?
I did find this eBay listing for some SCSI hard drives: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-286714-B22-404709-001-289042-001-72GB-10K-U320-SCSI-HARD-DRIVE-/181680342091?hash=item2a4cfe044b:g:guAAAOSwEK9TyBZx; would the drives in the listing be compatible? If not what should I do?
As an added note, the system does boot properly from a floppy disk if a floppy disk is inserted. However, I prefer having a nice hard drive to work with! Thanks for any & all help!
