svenski Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 It's an internal. I've got a new belt and removed the circuit boards and magnetic plates but can't see any belt and I'm stumped as to how to proceed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem once, the drive was broken so i saved the head and use it in other drive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
