Falcon no devices

[Tweety]

Pulled my Falcon from the atic, after years lying there between the cobwebs. When I start him up, the internal harddrive starts to boot. comes up with a screen without drive icons.

 

When I select from Options - install devices, I see harddrive's  C , D, E & F.

 

but now, I want to run a program,  Doubleklik a PRG, I get (Illegal File type.)

 

what can I do about it....

After years of inactivity normal case is, especially with older electronic , that electrolyte capacitors get weaker - lose capacity. So, need to replace them. Most is in PSU.

And they may be some rusting of contacts in sockets and internal connectors - cleaning, reseating necessary. Cleaning of floppy drive too.

Thank you for your information, I saw that they sell complete set packages special for the Falcon PSU.
