💾 26 Pin (PC Floppy Drive) Toshiba ND-356S-A, Part 2 of 3

Описание

Today is the day that I remove the old capacitors off of the disk drive and replace them with some new top spec' ones (as listed below).
I will be soldering them in along with the trials and tribulations that go hand in hand! - Yes, this was NOT an easy one and will probably show you how bad re-working a corroded PCB can be.

I hope you enjoy this as it's a rollercoaster!
Unfortunately, there will be a part 3 as I encounter a strange issue...
Watch and find out what it is, and possibly you might be able to chuck a fix, or some suggestions across?

Also a massive thanks to anybody who has purchased one of my repaired drives via eBay.

All the best,
Ant

An interesting 'floppy mod' I found here that enables the use of a normal 34 pin standard PC drive inside a 26 pin laptop:
