How to clean a floppy drive?
« on: December 05, 2010, 04:46:26 PM »
The floppy drive on my pc wasn't quite working right, so I decided to take it apart and clean the heads.  The heads were so close together, that I couldn't help but side-sweep them. (Every site I've seen says to dab, not swipe to avoid knocking the heads out of alignment)  I also noticed on accident that the drive head arm moves up slightly.  Am I supposed to seperate the heads first before cleaning them by moving this arm?  Ironically enough, the drive still seems to work.
Once there was a man and a boy in the woods.
 
Boy: I\'m scared...
 
Man: Hah! What have you got to be afraid of? I\'m the one that\'s going to be coming back alone!
