Floppy drives typically suffer from a couple of common problems, the first is broken wires in the head. The second is hardened grease in the moving parts of the head carriage, and the third is dead electrolytic capacitors.

Internal 3.5" LS-120 Superdisk floppy drive (ideally with black front, but ...). I'm after one in the standard 3.5" floppy drive size, not laptop. The one in my main system just died :-(. I have a lot of stuff on LS-120 disks, and while I can read them on a system in another room and network the files it is rather a PITA (plus it is probably only a matter of time until that one dies too). I will remove the dead one and look for any obvious problems, but I'm not optimistic. I am in the UK not the USA by the way. Please respond off-list.
