IBM PS/2 model 25 floppy help

[twistedpneumatic]

My floppy on my PS/2 Model 25 just sounds like its making seeking sounds yet fails to read any disks with a standard abort/retry/fail message. Just a standard white lithium grease and a head cleaning here?

Definitely doesn’t hurt to do so. If it doesn’t work, then check the capacitors. You may need a recap.

From what I remember most early PS/2 don't have a flap on the FDD and suck air through it. This tends to mess the heads up so the drives can fail. Not sure of a cure...
