Strange story...
I was unscrewing the floppy drive to remove the motherboard, as I was replacing all the capacitors (through hole included) and the A600 slipped out of my hands, and fell flat on the bench (maybe 20cm drop, didn't sound very nice)
Well, I went about replacing the capacitors, then went to test the board (not in the case) with the floppy sitting next to it.
Didn't work

Pulled the disc drive apart, cleaned it, reseated all the ribbon cable plugs...
Didn't work :flak:
So, I just stuffed the motherboard back in, reconnected the compact flash card, stuffed the lid on (literally, there's a slot load dvd rom drive in the case) screwed it all together.
DVD wasn't connected, as I haven't sorted out cables yet...
plugged the A600 it back in...
floppy drive works...
:bitch:
