politenessman Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 it may sound silly, but some guys assume the floppy connector on the mainboard powers their drive. swap cables, flip cables, check floppy power with multimeter? floppies never seem to work as good as they used too, right? edit - what case do you have? if your case has a cover for your floppy drive, or you have bought some kind of cover for your floppy to match your case, this could be the problem. any pressure at all, even very slight, on the floppy button will make it inoperative. try your drive outside the case!!!!! happened to me with a lian li and nearly made me insane looking for prob. very truly yours, politnessman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehrd Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I have tried every floppy out of case..And the first set up I did ,the floppy in my case worked fine..But a week later I noticed it no longer worked hence the attempt to swap cables and drives .. I guess I have a bad floppy connector on th emain board..RMA me it is saying lol.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Game Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 maybe the power supply is frying them? Doubt it but possible I guess. Can't see why 4 wouldn't work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdLSmith Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 I have an ASUS board that I can't get a floppy to work on. I have run that floppy on other boards, so. 1 out of 6, guess it's not too bad. But 1 out of 1 would be s__t. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
politenessman Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 can you take out the board so you can get a look at the floppy connector? maybe you have some bent pins. very truly yours, politenessman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinshoku Posted August 13, 2005 Posted August 13, 2005 Same problems but I already double check mine! Its work, I can read the whole data in the disk and even working for installing RAID driver for windows installation. However, I can't update my bios! even with DIAMOND bios or manual... the screen keep loading and leave the screen blank.
