Floppy Disk Drive with Delayed Problem
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 Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC. |

Since your floppy drive is bad...I don't understand why you replaced your power supply... you need to replace your floppy drive ! |
