ALSO A NEW ONE FLOPPY IS ANLY ABOUT $18 AT DISCOUNT COMPUTER STORES,,IF IT'S AN CLONE
COMPUTER THEY ARE VERY EASY TO CHANGE OUT,,
ONE THE CASE IS REMOVED THERE USUALLY IS ONLY
4 SCREWS HOLDING IT IN,,UNPLUG THE POWER WIRE THEN THE FLAT RIBBON,,INSTALL THE NEW ONE,,
IF THE RED LITE STAYS ON ON THE FLOPPY
YOU HAVE THE FLAT CABLE REVERSED,,AND WATCH TO MAKE SURE IT IS ALIGNED BEFORE PLUGGIN IN,,
IT'S EASY TO MISS PART OF THE PINS [TWO ROWS]
