It’s a new Commodore 1541 drive that came to me with the diagnosis „bad read head“.

New video:
Spin Me Round: Commodore 1541
We have another dead 1541 floppy disk drive on the bench today. It is an infinitely spinning drive, so it means that somehow the drive is not booting. But what might be the cause...?

Anyway… someone sent me a 1541 board to repair. It is a „no boot“ case where motor keeps spinning. The first and most crucial error can be spotted visually! Even if it is difficult. You might wanna google a bit.

This is a Commodore 1541C ASSY 251854 Rev A mainboard. It is from a parts drive, where I took of the servo controller for a different drive, and where the read/write head is dead (typical Mitsumi).
