Floppy problem!

[SidVicious]

Something's wrong with my floppy. When i put a floppy into the drive the floppy driver does just read the floppy disk for a while and then it opens Workbench and the "F.DISK" light is on and the workbench clock is on the screen...then nothing happens! Does someone knows what's wrong? I think it's an internal problem cuzz it happend when i opend the amiga.

VGR-50?

/sorry

Might be just good old wear and tear. My 1200D's original drive gave up the blue smoke recently :-(

One thing to note is that i worked when i tried it without the chassi (the amiga case?)

The problem is "solved". The problem was the to screws that's in front of the flopp drive.
I i removed the inside screw (the one that isn't near the flopp-push-out button, it worked. So, i started the Amiga whithout that screw, when the floppy loaded i screwed it in. After a while i could here i wiered noise from the drive, then i stoped screwing and screwed the screw out again anting the wiered noise stoped. Then i restarted the Amiga. Ang gues what? The floppy drive is working! =D

Sry for the realy, realy bad english in this post, i don't know how to say this things, but i hope you understand some of it, then maybe someone can make another post about it in some type o FAQ or something.

Yup, understood loud and clear..
I had almost the same thing on my A4000D last year.

Floppy would work fine when it was out of the drive cage, but screw it back in and it`d get read/write errors on almost every disk!
 {Ashcroft}CBM, didn`t bother using the right length screws  :pissed: , filed them down a bit and it was fine.
