Help with A2K Dead Floppy Drives

[ckillerh3]

Howdy -

I removed the motherboard from my A2K to remove an old battery.  Anyway, when I got it back together only one of the dual floppys wanted to work.  After fiddling around with it, swapping the CIA chips, as well as the J301 jumper neither one wants to work.  

Next I re-seated all the other custom socketed chips on the Mother Board.  

Any ideas what gremlin got into my machine?

Thanks,

Thanks for the posts.

I checked and double checked the ribbon cables a number of times.  I'm beginning to think the actual cable itself is bad and am going to take a volt meter to it.

One time on the mother board I put the cable on only one row of pins.  That did not work very well !  The cable is "keyed" at the floppy end so those fit nicely.

At this point the old girl is dead in the water !   How sad : (

You are most likely correct !   The face plate of DF1 was broken so
I substituted anoter drive from another Amiga 2000 carcas I had
around the house.  I did not think to check any settings on the
drives themselves.  I just assumed they were interchangeable.
I will snoop this out and see if that solves the problem. You,
sir, get the Sherlock Holmes award !
