So I open up the drive, straighten out the latch and
then, since I
have it
apart anyway, decide to clean the head. I get a Q-Tip
and some
alcohol,
lift the pressure pad arm and clean the head.
(Anybody spot the
problem
yet?)
Yes, because I did it once on a similar drive. I had to dismantle it
to straighten the spring steel strip, and then re-align the upper head,
IIRC (it was a double-sided drive). Quite a few drives are like that.
