I have a pair of IBM portables; a P70 and a 5545T (Japanese variant). Neither floppy drive worked as both have leaky SMT caps.
I tried my hand at doing one drive and it wasn't fun. Not much room to work on that board especially the ones near the spindle motor.
Not sure if I didn't do something right (there were several bad traces I had to repair) or if the drive has other issues.
I would like to have a pro do the other drive. Someone who has done these before.
Anyone on here do such work?
