A3000 drive cleaning
« on: August 07, 2007, 07:26:22 PM »
Reading the other thread about cleaning drives, reminds me of the problems I am having, specifically with Amiga 3000 series drives.  Almost all of mine, especially the High Density ones, are flakey.  Not the read/write heads, but the switches themselves.  (the disk detect, write protect and density detect).  I tried to take one apart to check it out/clean it, and I failed to put it back together properly, thus destroying the drive.  (sitting on my shelf!)  Is there any way of cleaning them?  Taking that switch apart is risky, as putting it back together is very hard, due to the micro springs, etc)

Thanks for the info!  Just tried alchohol in the switches and worked them in, then let it dry for it bit.  Seems to be working ok now so far!
