Amiga 1200 Emergency
« on: July 18, 2009, 12:24:07 AM »
I've just bought an Amiga 1200 and discovered that neither the hard drive or the floppy disk drive work -- all I get is the purple disk screen.
 
Anyone have an idea of what the problem might be and how it can be resolved?

The FDD makes some noise, but nowhere near as loud as I'm used to on my A600.  An amber coloured light comes on also.

Is isopropyl alcohol suitable for cleaning a floppy drive?  This is what I use to clean my VIC-20 datasettes.
