Hey guys,
I have an unusual issue that hasn't cropped up on any of the Sony 800k floppy drives I've messed with. This one appears to be dead. When I plug it into my trusty LC II it does nothing. Doesn't spin, doesn't try to eject, nothing--no power. I know it's not the floppy port on the LC II as it powers other drives. I suspect some fuse or voltage regular or SOMETHING has blown at some point on this poor thing but I don't even know where to look for those components. Maybe it's a bad cap? Any ideas? Any help is appreciated.
