I run a Tandy Model 100/102/200 mailing list (the NEC, Olivetti & other
Kyocera-OEM'd laptops are also very welcome there! ;-) and this person
posed a question about repairing her Portable Disk Drive. Can anyone here
help her?
You can reply directly to the poster, or you can reply to the mailing list

Hello!
I'm new here, gut I have to start with a problem right away.
After not having used my PDD for about three years, I wanted to use it
again the other day. But it didn't work. After unscrewing it, I
discovered, that the fuse was burst. After removing it, it still didn't
work, because the disk wouldn't rotate properly. I managed to find that
little wheel on the back of the motor and turned it round a bit. After
that, the PDD worked properly for a minute or so, then the fuse burst
again.
Can anybody help me to get that motor working properly again? I fear,
that I may damage something, if I go on like I did. Is there any
instruction, how to disassamble that device and to put it together again
without doing any harm?
Bye, Marianne
