Hi all,
I have a manual inject drive(MF355F-592MA) that's not accepting disks. It was in a Performa 410, I went to put a disk in, it gave the couldn't read disk, need to format it, error. I hit eject, it struggled and spat out the disk, so I popped it open to take a look, and while I'm fairly familiar with the mechanics of the auto inject drives thanks to the various videos/tutorials out there, there seems to be a lack of info about any sort of cleaning/lubrication of the manual inject ones from my online searches
video of issue - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWL7VrOfqqU
it seems like whatever mechinism snaps the disk down isn't doing that? Nothing my untrained eye spots seems out of the ordinary, but I don't have another manual inject drive handy to compare with
Anyone have any ideas on what to check? Or a link to a guide that might be useful?
Thanks
