Hi,
I’ve recently purchase a Toshiba T1850 fully working except for glitchy screen and floppy drive issue.
I fixed the screen by recapping the old capacitors with smd capacitors and it works like a charm now (attached photos), but my main issue is the floppy drive which is a EME-278T. I’ve just replaced the drive belt which is now making the floppy spin, but the drive is reporting ‘drive not ready’. I’ve cleaned the heads with ipa. But noticed after booting the laptop up that the Crystal for the floppy drive which is a 24Mhz is only showing as 4mhz. Not sure if this is correct or not, if someone could advise I would be grateful.
Cheers
