Hi,

I have a Compaq Contura 410C laptop (bought around 1997) which
I do not use a lot. When I first power it up (external power, not battery),
the floppy disk drive works just fine for about 10 minutes. Afterwards,
I have trouble reading floppy disks (drive not ready type of problem).

I tried a different power supply, but that isn't the cause. Could this
problem be something other than the floppy drive?

Thanks in advance, Brad
